But, you only need a few lures to reliably catch stripers

Regarding color, Ill fish a natural color like the Sexy Shad on the left when the water is clear and a bright color like the Parrot on the right

The heart of the Mrrum rod is its beautifully progressive action

Australian Bass can be extremely aggressive and strong for their size, you dont always catch the biggest fish but when you punch that perfect cast right under a fallen log or overhanging tree you can almost feel and hear that hit right before it happens, the heart has already started pumping then BAM that Bass smacks your lure right off the surface, the adrenaline starts and your trying your absolute best to keep him out of those snags as they love to brick you in seconds, its definitely a fun game to play

Bass dont like to chase baits all that much in the winter

You want a reel that is simple and durable
