So after using the Tackle House BKS140 so effectively in tropical situations, I have always said I must try them for the bass here at home. Well, here are a couple of colours that I think will mimic the bait fish we get here, Ghost Lancon & Mackerel.

The action of these lures is impressive, drives tropical fish absolutely mental, it is an agressive swimming lure like the good old days of Rapala Magnums etc but these do actually cast!

Here is what I wrote about them for tropical fishing, but of course for our bass you can just use your heavier bass rods like 40g casting weight and a normal say 20lb leader:

The 140 BKS Blue Ocean is a "must have" tropical lure. These things are designed to catch literally everything in tropical climates, such is tunas, mahi-mahi, roosters, jacks, snappers etc etc. Built for big teethy fish the BKS series is a must have set of lures any tropical angler has to have. Ideal on rod set ups with casting weights from 40-100g, I used these on a Tenryu Diablo 20-110g weight range with PE4 and an 80lb leader, the lure swan perfectly well.

Personally I was blown away by how good these lures are when I fished in Panama, I cannot believe I haven't tried them elsewhere.....but I will.
