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

you can buy cheaper rapala type lures off trademe sometimes VERY cheaply.....smaller is better but you will need to run light line to cast any distance.4lb maxima was great with tiny wee lures for me.the beauty of a rapala type lure is the floating ones give you time to react and sort your shit before starting to wind them in,when they start to dive,pause and it lifts...the softbaits sort of work the opposite way,pause and they sink,wind and they lift.
in low water dont be afraid to blind fish rapids....often fish will be holding in the faster water as its cooler,more oxygenated and food is moving past,added bonus they not so likely to see you and have to grab it quick before its gone past.
