Need Advice On Good Lures/spinners

The Kopyto relax one on ebay come without hooks, i see i need Jig Heads, what size hooks/weight would you recommend for canals & small river fishing, cheers.

What Neil r says is spot on, just to add to that the agm muscle jigheads are a bit better quality still cheap as chips though, the south bend wire traces are quality too

The muscle jig heads are good and i usually go for them if they have them in stock in the size im after. knot2kinky is good wire and can be knotted aswell if you want to make your own . 6 and 8 inch Jakes and squirrely jakes are good if you like flat sided baits , ive tried the really big 12or 13 inch ones but they dont seem as good , only had follows on them

Heddon or Creek chub lures are top notch... A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

I haven't but my mate had a 16.5 mirror on a salmo slider and there's a few lads on the las forum who have had everything from gudgeon to barbel and carp on lures

mepps comet no.4 abu tobys and Shakespeare big S plugs in perch pattern and silver have been my favourite and successful lures. silver abu terminator lures on the canal where great all round too even had chub on them! theres come cheap lures on ebay very simelar looking to tobys but smaller that are really cheap (bloody snags) and had some nice trout on them.

snags the big bug bear to spinning and lack of constration.

Well i went and had a dabble with a few lures today on the Aire and Calder canal, just to see what they looked like working, the rubber shads worked very well catching 7 Perch, biggest only about 1lb but enjoyable none the less, i was followed in by a few to and had a fair few grab the shad but miss the hook, i,d inserted a single hook in them coming out the back, a treble coming out of its belly might have worked better, enjoyed my couple of hours though, and iam learning.

Nice one . You get plenty of fish that just follow and not take or just grab the tail without hooking up but i never bother adding a stinger mainly just for ease of unhooking . I dont know if you did it but never ignore the inside margins , even if it looks like theres nothing there . The amount of perch and pike you can catch with the lure virtually touching the side is surprising and the speed a pike will hit your lure under your feet as you go to lift it out will make you jump . It happens so quick sometimes , it doesnt register straight away , one second your looking at the lure and then its not there

[buster gonads 862]

I always have my first and last cast,s down the edge Neil, just incase, didnt work yesterday though, and your right about adding another hook, it would be a pain getting it out of the landing net, i think i,ll stick with things as the are for now.
