etian Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Im looking for a good lighter spinning reel and rod for lure fishing in the summer that is still short enough to use on the boat. Ive looked at the GX2 medium spinning rod but have no idea on what reel I should pair with it. Id say my budget for the reel would be around about 40-80 quid. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Any information on lure fishing fro bass would also be very helpful, as currently I can only learn from youtube videos.

Hooky Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 FiiSh Black Minnow Set up drift on Poole Harbour entrance. Timing is cruicial, 1 hour before low water, first light , 2 or 3 days after a spring tide . Use the ugly stick, use 15 lb braid with 30 lb mono leader Dont bump into the chain ferry Give it three hours, you will get a decent fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I didn't think you were allowed to drift near the chain ferry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be operational at 5 am No you don’t drift past the ferry, ( good point Matt) I usually find the areas are between the entrance and Hook sands (tide going out) When tide starts flooding in other side so you can drift (virtually) upto blood alley No , it’s not easy, No you can’t do it alone You will find lots of small boats doing this , usual words of caution may follow etian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Is there a good place Matt? My mate was on a sailing dinghy that went under the chain ferry a few years back. Don't drift towards it. So as all above have said . . . . . . . . use caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'd say on the trailer parked on dry land😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
