As we started to fish in deeper waters around 8m, I thought a lure change was in order as I needed to get to the bottom quicker. The wind started to blow which made our drift quicker. I was thinking which lure would work best as I rumbled around in my lure box to see which Sebile lure I could use this time. I need a lure that had a quick sink rate and a small baitfish profile.
The first lure that came to mind was the Sebile Spin Shad 00. This lure has a quick sink rate which will get me to the bottom of 8metres of water with no problems. This lure looks like a small baitfish which was exactly what I was after. I have used this lure a number of times on salmon and bonito with great success when these species are feeding on small white bait. I thought why wouldn't this work on bream. I just need to work out how to work the Spin Shad which would incense the bream.
On my first cast I worked the lure with a slow constant wind. This technique didn't attract the bream, then the next cast I tried the same technique as I used with the Flatt Shad, a rip off the bottom with a slightly longer pause. As I lifted the rod tip after the pause the line tighten and I was on to a great bream. After an awesome fight I landed a 38cm bream on a Sebile Spin Shad and I was over the moon with the result.
