Fishing
the Stealth Diver By:
Bob Popp Introduction
to Ambush Lures: Ambush
Lures was created in May of 1996 when four friends
decided to bring their collective lure technologies to the fishing industry.
Ambush Lures is based out of Stealth
Diver (also available in a rattling version):
The first thing to note is that this IS NOT a normal lipless
crank bait. The main feature of the
Stealth Diver is the “Flo-Through Technology”.
“Flo-Through Technology” is a patented passageway that allows water
to flow through the lure! It
creates a turbine effect behind the lure like natural baitfish turbulence.
The convex nose lets you fish the bait in heavy cover.
You can also fill the hole with scent to create an even more natural
presentation. It sneaks up on fish. Color
Selection:
Three conditions determine which color of bait to use:
1. Light Conditions 2. Water Conditions 3.Confidence. Bright
Conditions:
Silvers Medium
Light: Golds Low
Light: Chartreuse Clear
Water:
Silvers Stained
Water: Golds Muddy
Water: Chartreuse Confidence:
If you have confidence in a particular color USE IT regardless of
conditions Seasonal
Colors:
The orange and brown color baits work great in the spring. Forage:
“Match the hatch”, for example: Perch and Bluegill Rattles
vs. No Rattles:
Use a rattling bait when fishing darker and deeper water
and use a bait with no rattles when fishing clear water and around shallow cover
where you would normally throw a spinner bait. Tackle:
Use your rod and reel as a tool.
Match your tackle to the conditions and cover you are fishing.
Bait cast tackle is recommended. A
6-61/2 foot medium-medium heavy rod and good quality reel spooled with
monofilament. If you are fishing
around heavy cover you can use braided line.
You can use spinning tackle in open water with sparse cover or fishing
over the top of cover. Techniques:
1. Burnin 2. Rippin 3.Yo-Yo Burnin:
Cast the bait near likely cover and reel the bait extremely fast
just like fishing a spinnerbait. This
is a good technique when fishing clear water. Rippin:
Cast the bait into weedbeds and start reeling in, when the
bait gets caught on weeds jerk the bait free, strikes occur when the bait is
jerked free. Yo-Yo:
Great technique for fishing deep water.
Cast the bait and let it sink to the bottom then jerk the bait up sharply
and let it fall to the bottom and repeat the procedure. Hookset: Sweep the rod to one side when setting the hook to avoid pulling the hooks from the fish’s mouth
