Starting out with the ultra-light lures on 5lb fluorocarbon, moving over to an 8lb single wire trace to fish slightly bigger lures. BFS fishing all the way!
Nice session, had a similar one yesterday morning on my local kennet and Avon. Lots of small perch and the odd Jack, lots of grass and weed on the surface. Tight lines
Hi, it’s called the MEIHO LIGHT GAME CASE. I’ve picked them up from the Todber Manor website in the past. Meiho make quite a few similar versions, most of which would do the job.
Hi there, yes of course you can 🙂. I choose the jig head weight based on the size of the lure I want to fish with and the depth of the water I’m fishing in. Typically very small lures, like my BFS lures, only need 0.7-1.0gm jig head. You will find that some shops actually give you a recommendation in terms of jig head to pair with a certain lure. I would recommend AGM lures as an example, on their website you’ll be able to see a selection of lures and a suggested jig head size. The best option is to buy a small selection of jig heads and test them with some lures, you’ll start to build up an idea of what works and what doesn’t.
@@reellures2770 @TheTinHorseMonty Thank you for your answer. I don't have much experience. What are the disadvantages of not increasing the jighead weight in deep water , will the rod sensitivity decrease?
Like with most things linked to fishing this will be an ‘it depends’ type of answer. A heavier jig head will get your lure down to the fish quicker, primarily I’ll use heavier jig heads in water where there is more flow as it helps hold your lure in a strike zone. As we get into the colder months you’ll probably find that predator fish sit in the deeper water and can be a bit slower to react. That’s when a slower presentation, a heavier weight, can help. You can hop or bounce a lure off the bottom of the water system you’re fishing in. This is also when you might explore more rigging options, like cheb weights, Carolina or Texas rigs. Most lure anglers I talk to have built up experience by trial and error, usually plenty of error 🙂, experiment and see what works in your local waters.
