Big bass. Solo session. Pitch black conditions.
July 6, 2025
There’s something special about lure fishing under the cover of darkness — when the tide turns, the wind drops, and the bass come alive.
There’s nothing quite like the rush of a surface take — that split-second eruption as a bass smashes a lure dancing across the top. And when it comes to topwater lures, the Espetit by Fishus continues to prove why it’s an essential weapon in any lure angler’s kit.
On a recent calm morning off the coast of Jersey, the Espetit put in serious work. With the water almost glassy and the sky just beginning to colour up, it was textbook conditions for surface fishing. A few nervous sprats flicked near the boat — always a good sign.
Just a couple of casts in, the Espetit started doing its thing — walking tight, pushing water, and throwing just enough splash to stand out without spooking. Then it happened: an aggressive swipe from below, followed by a full-on take. The result? A solid bass with attitude.
• Impressive casting distance: Despite its size, this lure punches way out, even in a headwind.
•Tight walk-the-dog action: It glides effortlessly with minimal rod movement — great for finesse.
•Built for bites: The finish is incredibly realistic, and the internal rattle gives it just enough presence to draw attention.
We’ve tried a lot of surface lures over the years, but the Espetit continues to stand out when bass are hunting high in the water column. Whether you’re fishing rock marks, calm bays, or working around bait balls, this lure deserves a place in your rotation.
If you’ve never experienced a surface strike on the Espetit, you’re seriously missing out. It’s the kind of fishing that gets your heart racing and keeps you coming back for more. Whether you’re a seasoned bass angler or just getting into lure fishing, this little lure packs a serious punch.

Some sessions are about persistence. Others are about timing. And then there are those rare ones where it all comes together in a single cast.
