The Italy bass it's not comparable to the USA bass to dimensions ahd weights.
The big bass caught in an elite series in Italy was a 3,290kg.
The big bass caught in the elite series USA this year was 10pound.
The type of bass, of our naturals lake and the clime don't produce giant bass.
Another big matter about the bassfishing are lures and equipments.
We love to use japanese tackles: Evergreen, DEPS, JACKALL or megabass rods are very used, but a lot of people use IROD, KISTLER, St.croix, kistler or quantum.
The most common reels are daiwa or shimano JDM. Not a lot of quantum or abu garcia
Lures: We use japan and USA lures. Personaly I use:
HB: SK, Rapala, EG, IK, Megabass, DEPS, JACKALL, Lucky craft, mann's, storm and other like nories or similar.
SB: Zoom, SK, net bait, DEPS, IK, JACKALL ecc.ecc.
Normaly the bassfisher in Italy uses: soft bait, spinner and frog.
I uses: crankbait, I love it in all type (square, mr, deep).
Lipless, spinner or chatter.
soft bait in general on a texas rig or jig
Now you had a little view on a bass in Italy.
If you visit Italy and you want to fish I advice coghinas lake in Sardinia, Bolsena lake near Rome or Garda Lake near Verona.
