This very popular surface lure is my choice of cicada surface lure for bass and for any species that feeds on the natural.
My colour choice is black or olive tsukutsuku.
The wings fold in on the cast so that it casts well and the pressure of water as the lure is retrieved makes the wings fold out and imparts a "walk the dog" swimming action on the lure with plenty of water movement.
My preferred retrieve is to cast the lure close to where you think bass are holding and let it sit till the impact rings on the surface dissipate. If they don't illicit a strike then just wiggle the rod tip to reactivate the rings again. If that doesn't illicit a strike slowly retrieve the lure with a few pause along the way.

This a really neat small diving lure that dives down as much as 3 meters.
I particularly like it because it’s a floating lure and if you feel your line or leader touch timber and immediately pause the retrieve the lure rises quick enough it to risen above the timber by the time you restart your retrieve . If it does hook up on timber a soft approach is best and the lure will often release it the line is repeatedly jiggled or flicked to release the snagged hook from the timber.
For bass my favorite colour is P01653 Pinky. This colour has a purple hue which bass love. There is a second colour from the range that I also think will be a winner and that's a translucent barred gold. I am pretty sure that will be great for bass and bream.
