Sure looks like a copy of this bait: http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=1239&name=HPF%20CRANK&manufacturename=O.S.P%20(OSPREY%20SPIRITUAL%20PERFORMER)

Sebile makes some pretty innovative lures. It is a french company owned by Patrick Sebile, but in europe their lures are not selling very well. I had one of those Stick Slim topwater baits which I sold since it didn't run well. I still have one Sebile lure called the ACast Magic Swimmer 95SK. I haven't seen that crank yet. Can't have them all! http://www.sebile.com/gamme.htm

Nice fish and congrats on the new PB! 8-)

Found this handmade lure on a german forum. Looks great! http://barsch-alarm.de/coppermine/displayimagepopup/pid=8490/fullsize=1.html http://barsch-alarm.de/coppermine/displayimagepopup/pid=8489/fullsize=1.html

Pretty realistic looking toy if you compare it to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/BAT-COUNT-FISHULA-BAIT-CASTING-LURE-PIKE-BASS_W0QQitemZ130177128852QQihZ003QQcategoryZ31693QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Much gracias carnalito!

I found this lure on ebay, but all it said was japanese real minnow. Anybody know which company makes this bait? It is aprox. 5" long and weighs 3/4oz.

Is this lure worth anything? I supposed to be from a french company called rublex, made in the 60's. http://images.qxlricardo.com/ImgUsers/5/526/52627/5262744/526274466_Big.jpg

Very nice looking fish! It amazes me that bass can be found in so many countries.

Here's another big chub.

LC S-8 Popper

That thing is huge!

WELCOME to the forums!

Over here, this is a chub.

This one is even bigger. 2.8lbs.

Look here: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwatdmouthwasher.html I have one and it works but then, so do most other topwater baits.

x2 but those high end lures are still fun to fish.

That's a nice one Dan, congrats! 8-)

Is that a really big spotted bass? I'm not sure which one you mean, but there are no spots in europe.

Ecogear Rock Claw. How's the fishing?

There aren't that many bass around in the lake fish. Right now in winter they are very difficult to catch. In summer you can catch alot fish around 20cm but that's no fun. The bass are very well fed, there alot of shad and crayfish in the lake. Bass are not stocked (invasive species). I consider a good bass 1,5kg up. My PB is 3.58kg. As far as I know it is the biggest bass ever caught here. These are northern strain bass. You guys have florida strain right? Unfortunately alot of small bass are taken by locals. PB

30cm is about average. There are some fish around 60cm but that's as big as they get.
