When the sun’s high, the water’s crystal clear, and the bass are holding back — sometimes 40+ metres out — you need a lure that casts like a missile without making a racket when it lands.
🎯 Recommended Lure Type:
Metal jig or slim sinking pencil (natural colour)
✅ Why it Works in These Conditions:
- Long-distance casting without splashy impact
- Natural flash mimics sandeels and small fry
- Works well with a lift-and-fall or fast dart retrieve
- Perfect for calm seas and shy bass that won’t come close
