Black Night Baitfish
The night fly
Sea bassSubsurface
An all-black baitfish profile — bucktail, EP fibre or marabou. The standard night fly for bass under harbour lights and over calm estuaries.
Fish this when
Night fishing on any safe bass mark — moonlit estuaries, harbour lights, calm tidal water with confident bait shoals.
Why it works
At night, black gives the cleanest silhouette against any ambient light. Bass see a clear shape; bright colours just smear into the dark.
