The Chasebaits Ripple Cicada is a small-sized topwater bait designed to mimic the movement and sound of a cicada. This lure is crafted to generate significant surface disturbance, replicating an insect struggling on the water, to entice predatory fish into striking. The unique design of this lure, coupled with its realistic action, makes it a go-to bait for freshwater anglers seeking to hook into species such as bass, trout, and many others.
The Ripple Cicada features a soft hollow body that gives it a natural feel when a fish strikes, increasing the chances that they will hold onto the bait longer, giving you more time to set the hook. The included twin ABS plastic wings produce a characteristic sputtering motion upon retrieval, which imitates the vibrations of an insect's wings. Whether it's twitched on the surface or reeled in steadily, this lure is designed to create an irresistible acoustic footprint underwater.
The intricate details are not lost on this bait, as it includes glitter-flash UV enhancements and skeletal outlines on its wings, adding an extra layer of visual attraction to the already tempting acoustic profile. These features ensure that fish will notice the bait from a distance, even in murky or dimly lit waters.
For hooking efficiency, the Ripple Cicada comes equipped with a set of razor-sharp BKK treble hooks, providing reliable penetration and a solid hookup ratio. The rear hook is accentuated with a feathered hackle dressing, adding a subtle fluttering action that mimics the fine movements of insect legs and enhances visual appeal.
