Part 1 of 3, depicts the spectacular captures I achieved on one specific type of lure, within what was a seminal first 3 months of 2025.
Is There a ‘Better’ Surface Lure…?
The Xorus Patchinko 125 is an almost ‘universal’ surface or top-water sliding lure that is an absolute ‘must have’ acquisition in my opinion.
The ‘Deadly Delay’ (to a surface lure!)
A recent beauty of mine at 68cm, and the story behind it – all associated to increasing your chances of catching bass on surface lures…
‘Head down’ after my early-March success!

My 71cm ‘February Bruiser’. Yet another capture that has blown my mind!
Creatures of habit – you bet! How my intimate knowledge of a particular mark paid off handsomely!
February PB smashed again alongside more late-winter catches! BUT…
A compendium of February lure-caught bass, as well as my take on the hook up rate with this Megabass Sleeper Craws…
