Guys if I missed any kind of major update lately on the cicada lure just ignore my findings. Thought I'd let you know how I made out with it. I took advantage of the topwater bite on Sunday morning and this morning (no wind). Boated (4) smallies on two different color patterns. The black and brown in 1/4 oz. did not use 1/2 oz version. Was not taken by surprize that it would work. In my opinion as mentioned in the previous post, I don't think they respond to the fact it is a locust pattern. Just a quick reaction strike. In produced fish, slaps, and missed fish due to poor hook-sets on my part.
I will say it has my confidence and that it's a fish catcher. I will continue to use it but, I fish others that I won't leave home without. I think I'll use it as a change up type lure. Will probably get out on Friday night and will throw it around again.
I would recomend one in a natural color and they were only $2.99 . Any color will probably work. There are not many locust were I primarly fish, I bought it because it was pretty natural looking and thought it would fish like a jitterbug style lure.
