Recently bought an ABU 6500 as well, but got it from the local shop as was new to multipliers, and wanted a new rod as well.
They set it up and explained it to me, so have had no problems, which is the advantage.
On the downside, dont know much about the internals and playing about with it.
If you have bought yours locally I would suggest doing the same.

Ill keep a look out for some of them beads- sound like they could be a winner!
Interesting that they might spook the bass, as most lures have rattles in, but I guess they are moving.
Cheers for the advice- all is welcome!

Its an ignorance question I guess, but why not beads for bass fishing?
Can someone also tell me what Booby Beads are as well please!

I agree that scent does help, but I am convinced that noise has a greater effect- let me explain.
I have been using hard plugs with rattles in them during the year, and catching bass in Force 6 plus weather. There is no scent involved, and given the state of the water, it cant have been sight that first attracted them to the plug.
I am convinced that a rattle first attracts them to the lure, and then its the movement.
Having tried adding Ultrabite to lures, I havent really noticed any difference, bar the stink on my hands!
I am convinced that by adding a rattle you attract more fish to the area of your lure, rather than relying on the fish to be in the area in first place.

I was hoping that the shrimp lure would be as attractive to local bass as a live shrimp on a float, which is supposed to be deadly!
I will give the crab ones a try though, and cheers for the links.

Presumably talking about lures for bass?
I have tried soft shrimp lures from Australia, that my brother uses over there to great success, but had no luck.
Could just be me, but having had a much better plugging season this year I am going to try more soft lures where people are using normal hard ones, on the basis that the fish wont be as used to them.
Only issue I have with this is that none of the sot lures I have found have a rattle, and I have found a significant difference in success rates between those that do and dont rattle.

Good point.
I am just trying to think around the problem, and this was an idea that had been in my head for a while.
I also quite liked the idea of having my own Bass!
Will stick to the fishing and catch and release!

Well thats that avenue of fish conservation ruined!
Long live the bass fishing!

Cheers for the info guys. The reason I asked was that I love bass fishing, and return most of my catch, but have watched some hot areas locally be cleaned out by commercial fishermen in just a month.
Was trying to think of another option to keep the sport alive, but keep the inevitable food chain going.
Hadn't thought of the effluent problem, but are there any helpful websites on the subject?
-
Probably my naivety here, but do people actually farm bass, or is this an option?
The reason I ask is the number of debates held on commercial bass fishing and the potential (or actual) damage to stocks.
And in advance of some immediate replies, I know that farmed bass will never taste the same, but there is a price for sustainable resources.

St Brelades is known to be pretty difficult unless you know where to go already (which I dont!).
Would stick to the spots already suggested, and use walk the dog surface lures, rather than diving ones, but do be really careful of Le Hocq or La Rocque.
Unless you are really struggling, much less stressful to try the other spots!
Electronic Lures?!
in Sea Fishing
Posted
Have just seen an advert for Sensa lures, which emit an electronic pulse of some sort to attract predators (i.e. fresh and sea water apparently) through their lateral lines.
Has anyone come across this sort of idea before? Or even better, any experience in relation to bass and such devices?
