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.
