Tackle House - elfin Large Cicada
About this lure
A specialised floating plug designed for surface presentations during the spring insect hatch.
At 46mm and 4.3g, the Large Cicada was developed for the Japanese cicada season and excels when fish are dialled in on insect prey near the surface. It creates subtle, lifelike movement to mimic a struggling cicada, ideal for still lakes and shaded margins. Cast it under overhangs, into shallow water, or along calm edges—then twitch it gently to draw reaction bites from trout and other surface-feeding fish.
