To fish Florida's small peacock bass, don't go to the black bass section, but rather to the trout or perch section to prepare for your stay.
The jerkbait minnow
If there's only one lure to take, it's the jerkbait minnow, because it's so effective!
Choose suspending or flowing models, from 6 to 8 centimetres. A fast, messy animation triggers buttons more easily.
Colors that are as close to reality as possible, such as natural or zebra, work well. Colors that are too uniform or fancy, such as white or fire tiger, don't really work.
The popper
The popper is the lure that makes peacock-bass move from further away. It comes in handy when you can't see the fish and is particularly effective at the end of the day. Here too, a size of around 6 to 8 centimetres is the norm. Continuous animation, without pauses, gives the best results.
Floating stickbait
Another good lure for power fishing to quickly explore long canals is the floating stickbait. A continuous walking-the-dog animation, or even an unstrung swim, at a steady pace helps trigger attacks.
If you see a fish come close to the lure once or twice, passing it by with a jerkbait minnow can make it a reality. It's important to keep an eye on the lure at all times, as peacock-bass may simply approach it without making the slightest splash on the surface.
Arming
An important point when fishing peacock-bass with small lures is that broken rings and original hooks often need to be replaced by stronger references. Indeed, peacock-bass have a very good defence and can easily bend hooks.
For this reason, single hooks should be preferred. What's more, the second hook tends to injure the fish unnecessarily by biting on the outside, which happens less with singles.
