Cranks Vs Blades/Vibes for bream?

[TheLazyboy]

Hey all

I was just wondering which works best for you for bream? Colour? brand?

i have tryed a bit of both and havent really had much success.

All advice is welcome

[Doobsy]

I've caught a few on both types and all different brands.

Unfortunately I've come to the realisation that the top (read: expensive) brands have the upper hand...

Concentrating on the right retrieve is the key.

They all have different situations where some will be better than others. Retrieve is more important imo

Yeah got to agree with the above post. They both have their advantages in different situations. If you can afford to, get a mix of both mate. And yeah check out information on retrieves. Here is a few links for some tips with blades that i like. Different cranks can often have different retrieve techniques whereas blades generally have a few successful retrieves that i have found work across all of the brands i have used. Good luck and hope this helps.

I was in he same boat a while back with decisions like this, and eventually got so frustrated I decided to revert to the heavier style of fishng I am used to. Lol :silly:

Long story short, the succes I did have mainly revolved around the TT ghostblades, great action on both the retrieve and the drop plus with their lighter weight, they sre great for finnesse style fishing. I also caught a few bream on plastics, mainly of the gulp 3 inch minnow variety in banana prawn or pumpkin seed colour running TT hidden weight system jigheads.

Personally, I think it all comes down to the retrieve and the leader thickness. That's just my opinion in the end.

Hope that helped somewhat

One of the members Scrote made blades not sure if he still does now? but any blade is deadly from top to bottom of the price range.

Most of my action on bream lately has been with the Atomic Hardz along rock walls or tight in structure just an AWESOME lure!
