With braid, how do you decide what breaking strain, diameter or PE# to go for? (I ask because I had an interesting chat with an industry insider)
What is the cheapest way to buy these soft plastic “weedless paddletails on jig heads” lures? (Black Minnow, Sandeel V2 Weedless etc.)
My brain isn’t wired this way! Fishing on my own, not catching, make one obvious change, start catching - why?
Compared - two similar rated lure rods, very different prices. £500+ Shimano Exsence Genos 9’ 8-48g v £200 Savage Gear SGS6 8’3’’ 12-42g
It makes me so happy to be able to help a couple of friends catch some bass
The end of an era
I would respectfully suggest that we will never fully get to grips with the whole lure colour thing
Conditions, conditions, conditions - first proper bit of bounce for ages and it was alive with bass
Do you ever sharpen your hooks? (because I can’t recall seeing a bass lure angler doing so when they are actually fishing)
How often do fish refuse our lures but we never even know about it? (some rather interesting video footage!)
Saw a bunch of really interesting lure rods for £100 and less, I’m a bit embarrassed that I haven’t seen some of them before
Anybody else looking forward to autumn and into winter?
After a specific sort of waterproof smock, does anybody have any ideas?
Watch and learn, watch and learn, watch and learn
Got one of these brand new Penn Authority 2500 spinning reels on its way to me for a thrashing (in shops September I believe)
You know those surface takes where it looks like a little bit of the sea has literally exploded?
Would you be prepared to really change things up to have a sniff at bass fishing like this?
Everything you can think of looks perfect but you blank - do we really have a clue?
Ever seen a decent mullet taken fair and square on a surface lure?
How often might the size and/or profile of your lure make a difference to your catch rates?
