This rig is ideal for targeting speckled bass of all sizes. The large final lure will appeal to larger bass and the small teaser lure can whet the appetite of a speckled bass of any size.
Assembly
A fluorocarbon leader of 0.80 to 2 m in 0.35 to 0.50 mm is used before the lure. On this leader, we attach a teaser, i.e. a micro-lure (soft or feather), 15 cm before the final lure. The final lure is a 9 to 13 cm surface lure. The treble hooks on the surface lure should be sharp, so opt for top-of-the-range stainless steel.
Using the assembly
This surface lure is handled in a zigzag pattern. The lure is worked in a zigzag pattern, with regular strokes at a rate of 2 per second, moving from left to right in succession. Speckles attack both large and small lures.
The heavy equipment needed for this assembly
The 2.00 to 2.70 m rod should weigh between 5 and 50 g and have a tip action, not necessarily a fast one. In fact, a soft tip is ideal for surface fishing. Reels in sizes 2,500 to 4,000 (depending on brand) weigh 250 to 350 g and contain at least 150 m of 0.10 to 0.16 mm braid.
Tips for success
On a speckled bass hunt, you can replace the swimming fish with a shiny jig, while keeping the teaser.
