Sporting Fish | Spinning. Why use lures? Although the most efficient way to deceive a fish is to use bait, using an artificial is more fun and gives you the ability to search for fish along miles of coastline. There are few things more satisfying to a saltwater angler than to cast to and catch a fish he has spotted harrying fry on the surface. There is no right or wrong time to choose an artifical over bait. Some species, like bass, will readily chase and be caught on artificals while others, such as smoothounds will rarely, if ever, accept them. Spinners and plugs can be used with success over any type of ground, at any state of the tide and in any weather conditions. Tackle Spinning offers the opportunity to really exploit the sporting potential of our native species and employs the simplest of rigs.
This might sound self evident but it is essential that you use a proper spinning rod. Load your reel with 8 - 10lb monofilament such as Berkley Trilene Flourocarbon.

By Gofishing.co.uk 01 March 2010 10:12 What’s a ‘shotting pattern’ and why can the correct pattern mean the difference between bagging a netful of fish and blanking? Here’s our quick guide to stick float, waggler and pole float fishing shotting patterns... SHOTTING pattern is merely the order in which you attach the weights (split shot or styls) on to your line to cock your float and help the bait fall through the water. There are three main types of shotting pattern – and each is designed to do a different job. BULK: This is where the main bulk of split shot are grouped tightly together. On a waggler float you’d normally nip on size AAA or BB shot immediately below the float.
STRUNG-OUT (also known as ‘shirt button’): This pattern can be used on wagglers, stick floats or pole rigs. Number 8, 9 and 10 shot are favourite on stillwater waggler and pole floats, and No 8 and No 6 are used on stick floats. DROPPER: Droppers are smaller, lighter shot positioned at intervals below the bulk shot.
