8/10
Stable working lure with a rating of 8/10 — reliable for perch and pike-perch in August, but no signs of exceptional performance
Select soft plastics held steady at 3.9/5 in solo reports (33 reports) with 10 new solo confirmations in August supporting consistent mid-range effectiveness. Combo reports (18 reports) show 4.2/5, but only one combo in the new batch where Select competes with Flagman — limited data for reassessment. Three Select categories (crankbaits 4/5, soft plastics 4/5, spoons 4.3/5) show similar results; none stands out as clearly superior. Perch remains the primary target, August reports show regular 3–5 star catches matching historical trends
Best conditions
Cloudy and partly cloudy days with moderate wind (5–17 km/h) in August; active feeding observed in late afternoon and before light rain; warm summer (26–34°C daytime temps) with low rain probability shows best results
Best target fish
Perch (dominant majority of August catches); pike-perch and chub showed occasional but consistent results; pike appeared in one 5-star report on a crankbait
- Select Snack-X Nano and Javic 1.8" soft plastics showed highest ratings (5 stars) in solo situations; proven reliable choice for perch in August
- Select Sprint 35SP crankbaits earned 5-star ratings twice in solo tests; show advantage on pike and chub in light rain conditions
- August reports rated 4–5 stars mostly occurred on partly cloudy days with 5–13 km/h wind; avoid dead calm days (wind <5 km/h) and extreme heat (>32°C) when alternatives exist

All 11 new reports fall in August — seasonal variations in spring, fall, and winter unknown. Solo database expanded to 33 reports, but most remain brief notes lacking details on depth, weight, or technique. One combo report in the new batch (report #10 with two Select models) creates attribution overlap within a single outing. Select crankbaits appear in 3 of 11 new reports, but still a small sample to confirm their effectiveness separately from soft plastics
