Thread: Trout/perch spin rig advice please.....

Get yourself a combo from your local. Sick to the name brand stuff. Shimano, Daiwa, Abu Garcia. Longer rods will help you cast further and lighter will also let you throw smaller lures. The two combined will increase your spend though, as too achieve both uses higher modulus carbon fiber at a price. Smaller water typically needs smaller lures. Veltics and similar are still the go to. Toby's can be good but maybe the smaller cousins like Mepps or Zeds may be a better all rounder.
Your mate was right too. Once you get the hang of fishing or are older than 13 then dredging for fish should be left for children, beginners or the infirm. It's just not cricket to be a grown man and still use a spinning rod.
