Advantages and strengths of the TB 55 lure

The TB 55 is a lure renowned for its ability to pique the interest of the most cautious fish thanks to its depth stability. This suspending crankbait offers rapid immersion and then stabilizes effectively to remain longer in the optimal strike zone. This unique feature often triggers decisive attacks out of curiosity or annoyance from the wariest predators, especially in challenging conditions.

Its design inspired by the famous Tilsan Bass ensures realistic swimming, immediate responsiveness to any rod movement, and precise vibrations for maximum attraction. Its plastic construction also assures great durability against repeated attacks from predatory fish.

Thanks to its well-balanced structure, this lure allows methodical and meticulous exploration of the lower and mid-water layers, preferred hunting grounds for ambush predators.

Usage tips and recommended rigs

To get the most out of your TB 55, favor a slow linear retrieval combined with frequent pauses to fully exploit its suspending property. These stops of a few seconds are often crucial to enticing predators to strike instantly.

For rigging, it is recommended to use a fine fluorocarbon line (ideally between 0.18 and 0.26 mm depending on your target) to enhance the lure’s stealth underwater and maximize its neutral buoyancy’s precision. The lure's ideal balance allows a natural presentation at these depths, which is often the key aspect to enticing fish wary of standard lures.

For your rod, opt for spinning or casting models with regular action to achieve precise and smooth animation, facilitating effective, pronounced pauses characteristic of the suspending lure technique.

Testimonial from an experienced angler on the TB 55

"I've been using the TB 55 since it recently hit the market and must admit it rightfully continues the legacy of the original Tilsan Bass. This suspending crankbait is extremely versatile: its ability to perfectly hold its depth while stationary gives it an undeniable advantage when fish are difficult or very cautious. I've especially had excellent results in cluttered and deep areas, where very few other lures have provoked such attacks. I unhesitatingly recommend the TB 55 to anglers looking to tackle complex situations with confidence and efficiency."
