Vibes and Blades
Vibes and Blades
Vibes and blades are bibless lures that sink fast and buzz hard when you lift them. With no bib to catch water, the whole body does the work, which produces a tight, high-frequency vibration that fish pick up from a distance in dirty water.
Vibes and blades compared
Hard vibes have a moulded body with a line tie on top, so they hang nose-down and swim with a tight shimmy. They cast well, hold their action at speed, and can be wound, hopped or slow rolled along the bottom.
Metal blades are flat stamped lures, usually with several line-tie holes. They sink faster than anything else in the box and cast a long way into wind. Moving the line tie forward gives a tighter, faster action; moving it back gives a wider one.
Both are bottom-bouncing lures. Let them sink, lift, and let them fall back under control. For a softer-bodied version that fish hold on to longer, soft vibes do the same job, and the wider fishing lures range covers the rest of the water column.
Frequently asked questions
What is a vibe lure?
A lure with no bib that sinks nose-down and vibrates tightly when you lift it or wind it. The line tie sits on the back rather than the nose, which is what makes it hang and shimmy.
When should I use a blade?
When you need distance, depth or speed. Blades sink faster than almost any other lure and cut through wind, which makes them useful in deep water, strong current and off open beaches.
Do vibes work for bream?
Very well. Small vibes hopped along the bottom around structure are one of the most reliable bream techniques, and the same approach works on flathead and estuary jewfish.
Why do I keep snagging vibes?
Because they fish on the bottom with exposed trebles. Keep contact with the lure as it falls so you feel the touchdown, and lift as soon as it lands rather than letting it sit.
