Is there such a thing as a bibless sinking HB? If made properly might be great around medium and deep structure

cheers

The halco trembler is a sinking bibless hb but the smallest size might be a tad too big for bream. They are used on big deep snags up north for barra. Basically you can cast out a short way and almost virtually work them vertically through the water.

Cotton cordell also make some and there is a cotton cordell link in the HB section of the online store i think.

Rapala also do one that would be perfect size for bream

as above
comes in 1' 1/2" inch as the smallest
about 1/2 an inch smaller than most lipless crankbaits
nice colours too

A few of us hurt these types of lures last year after some eastern staters were doing well on them, you'll probably see some footage of them in use in the upcoming videos.

Locally though I find the fish have to be in pretty agro moods to have a go. I'd rather throw a plastic down into that type of structure.

If you're wanting something to use downstream, just throw on a Halco Twisty 3g..the breamskies are loving them at the moment, not to mention bloody grunter, got 7 in a row the other week.
