Axia Scrawl – 91mm – 14g – Topwater

Axia Scrawl 91mm The Stealth Surface Assassin

When the sea turns to glass and the sun is high, bass become wary. You need a lure with finesse, and the Axia Scrawl 91mm, available at Gerrys Fishing, is the master of the calm water approach.

This isnt a loud, aggressive bait; its a subtle, high-precision tool designed to mimic the effortless glide of small baitfish cruising the surface. At 91mm, it perfectly matches the profile of a juvenile sandeel or sprat. Its party piece is its incredible ease of useeven with minimal rod input, the Scrawl slides gracefully across the surface, creating a V-wake that bass find impossible to ignore.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use the Axia Scrawl

• Glassy Calm Bays: When there is zero chop on the water, many lures are too noisy. The Scrawls silent, sliding action is perfect for these spooky conditions.

• Estuary Flats & Creeks: Ideal for working over shallow mudflats or sandbanks where bass are searching for small fry in just a few inches of water.

• Rock Pools & Gullies: Use its 14g weight to flick into tight corners and between kelp-covered rocks where bigger fish wait in the shade.

• Early Morning / Late Evening: When the light is low and the water is still, the silhouette of the Scrawl against the sky is a deadly trigger for hunting predators.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The key to the Scrawl is less is more. On those dead-calm days, dont overwork it. A slow, rhythmic walk-the-dog retrieve with long, sliding glides is often more effective than a fast, frantic one. If you see a follow (a swirl behind the lure), do not stop winding. Maintain that steady slide, and the bass will usually commit. Its a lure that rewards patience and a smooth hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Scrawl differ from the Glider?

The Glider has a cupped nose for splashing and popping, making it better for calling fish up in a ripple. The Scrawl is a pencil style slider, designed for a much more subtle, silent approach in calm conditions.

Does 14g cast well?

Yes. For its size, 14g is quite dense, allowing it to cut through the air with very little resistance. Its a joy to cast on a light-to-medium lure rod.

Is it easy for beginners to use?

Absolutely. The Scrawl is weighted to stay flat and stable, making it one of the easiest surface lures to get walking correctly without the lure tumbling or diving.

Can I use this for freshwater species?

Definitely. The 91mm size is a perch magnet in canals and rivers, and its also highly effective for summer pike in shallow drains
