Lures and Spinners Questions
- Thread starter Speedmaster
- Start date
you need to be more specific...there are numerous bass fishing websites...with so much info you could spend weeks trying to figue out what to use...by the time you are finished reading all of them you should be more confused than before you started.
i notice your profile indicates you are a sea fisherman...so you want to start bassfishing...and trout fishing correct?
my advice...if you want to start bass fishing.
a 7 ft cherywood spinning rod
a shimano 1000 sidestab spinning reel...
8 or 10 lb line dont get fancy just monofiliment
a lure box
4 pkts of zoom junior flukes...watermeloen...watermeloen gold...watermeloen red and junebug.
no 2 ewg hooks
a pkt of small swivels
a small reel of fluoro 10 lb line to use as a leader
a pkt of split shot for a little weight if required
a pair of long nose pliers to assist getting hooks out and to use for cutting line etc.
and you are ready to catch bass and trout...most dams will not allow you to fish for trout with bass equipment only fly.
unfortunetly i live in durban so i cannot help you with shops in the cape...i am sure there are people who can assist you with that type of info...what about asking the shop you currently get your tackle from they should have an idea...thats half the fun with bass fishing...shopping for bass tackle...visiting all the bass tackle shops...talking to people you meet in the shop about fishing experiences.

Inline spinners or spinners? Inline spinners I dont have the slightest idea... your normal spinners Colarado Blade is the roundish one, used for dirtier water and causes more vibration, willow leaf blade is the sharper blade, causes less vibration more flash, better for clearer water.
I think the best spinner to go for from the start would be a White/Chartruese with the main blade a willow leaf silver and the second a colarado gold. Iv caught in various clarity of water with it. But if you fishing very muddy water you might want to try something with 4 willow leaf blades in gold or something with a colarado blade as the main one....
