WHEN TO TIE ONE ON
The Atomic Bream Crank 38M is a shallow diving crank bait lure. It dives to 0.7m making it ideal for water between 1 and 2 metres. It is effective around weed beds, rock walls, oyster racks, bridge pylons and wharves and jetties.
HOW TO USE
• Estuary outfits in maximum 4-8lb range will yield best results when casting. Braided lines with a fluoro leader or straight through fluoro line will be best.
• Use a loop knot for the best action. It allows the lure to swim freely.
• Depths up to 2 metres are suitable for this lure. Target edges or flats with weed beds and use a very slow wind retrieve for best results. This is what anglers refer to as a slow roll. The slower, the better the results will be.
• Long casts will be rewarded. Position yourself so the wind is at your back if possible.
THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE
• This lure is perfect for targeting rocky walls where the wind is pushing waves onto the rocks. Cast to where the water meets the rocks and start a slow retrieve. You’ll be surprised how many fish are holding in this area as the wind brings food.
• Vary your retrieve slightly by adding in a downward pull of the rod tip causing the lure to accelerate, then decelerate.
