Choosing the Right Fishing Tackle

The right lure depends on three things: the depth where the fish feed, the species on the line and the casting distance. We group our range in the same order below. Start with the lure type, then match the jig head, line and terminal tackle to it.

01

Metal Jigs for Depth and Distance

A metal jig is a dense, narrow piece of metal with a hook at one or both ends. It casts further than any other lure of the same weight and sinks fast, so it reaches fish that hold deep, far out or under strong current. Shore anglers often use jigs of 20g to 40g. A heavier jig suits deep water and strong tide, and a lighter one suits shallow water and slow retrieves. Slow pitch jigs flutter and glide as they fall, while long, thin speed jigs drop straight down and suit a fast, rhythmic retrieve. Glow and holographic finishes add flash in deep or coloured water.

Jigging Technique for Shore and Boat

Jigging is a vertical method. Let the jig sink to the bottom on a tight line, then lift the rod tip sharply and let the jig fall back. Most bites come on the drop, so watch the line as it sinks. Short, fast lifts suit speed jigs, and slow, long sweeps of the rod suit slow pitch jigs. From the shore, cast the jig out, let it reach the bottom and work it back with lifts and pauses. Count the seconds of each drop to find the depth where fish take, then fish the jig at that depth again.

Soft Plastics for a Natural Action

Soft plastic lures move like live prey at slow speeds, which makes them a good choice when fish will not chase. Paddle tails and curly tails swim on a steady retrieve. Worms, craws and creature baits work best when they hop along the bottom or sink slowly on a slack line. A jig head suits open water, and an offset worm rig keeps the point hidden near weed, rocks and snags. Soft baits come in larger packs than hard lures, because the plastic tears after a few fish. Many are salted or scented, which makes fish hold on for longer.

Hard Baits to Cover Water

Hard baits have a set diving depth, so each one fishes a band of water. Topwater lures such as poppers and pencil baits stay on the surface. Jerkbaits and minnows swim just below it, and crankbaits and lipless baits run deeper. The lip on the front of a crankbait sets its depth: a long lip dives deeper than a short one. Choose by the depth where the fish feed, then cast and retrieve to search a wide area fast. Hard baits last longer than soft plastics and keep their action for many seasons.

05

Jig Head Weight and Size

The best jig head is the lightest one that still reaches the bottom in the depth and current of the day. A light head falls slowly and looks more natural. A heavy head keeps contact in deep or fast water and casts further in wind. The size of the head must also match the soft bait, so the point comes out near the middle of the body. A head that is too small misses bites, and one that is too large spoils the action of the bait. Round heads suit most baits, and football and NED heads stand up on the bottom.

Colour and Water Clarity

Colour matters most in the first few metres of water. In clear water and bright light, natural finishes such as silver, sardine, sand eel and green back look closest to real bait fish. In coloured or deep water, bright pink, chartreuse and glow colours stay visible for longer. At dawn, at dusk and at night, a dark silhouette or a glow body shows up best against the sky. Many anglers carry one natural and one bright colour of each pattern and change after a few casts without a bite.

Spinners and Spoons for Rivers and Lakes

Spinners have a blade that turns around a wire shaft and sends out flash and vibration. Spoons are curved metal blades that wobble as they come back through the water. Both are simple to fish: cast across the current and wind back at a steady speed. Small sizes from 2g to 5g suit trout and perch in rivers and streams, and heavier casting spoons reach further on big lakes and from the beach. Gold and copper blades show up well in coloured water, and silver blades suit clear water and bright days.

08

Squid Jigs and Egi

Squid jigs, or egi, have a cloth or plastic body and one or two rows of fine pins in place of a normal barb. Squid grab the jig with their arms and the pins hold them. Size 2.5 to 3.5 jigs suit most harbours and piers. Glow bodies help at night under lights, and natural colours suit clear water by day. A slow sink with sharp lifts of the rod works for most squid.

Terminal Tackle That Holds the Fish

Terminal tackle is everything between the end of the line and the lure: swivels, snaps, split rings, sinkers, floats and leaders. A snap swivel makes lure changes fast and stops line twist. A split ring gives a lure more free movement than a knot. Sinkers set the depth of a bait rig, and floats show a bite and hold the bait at a set depth. Check every point and ring before each trip, and replace any that are rusty or bent.

Line, Boxes and Tools

Braided line has no stretch and casts far, so it suits jigging and long casts. A short fluorocarbon or monofilament leader adds abrasion resistance and is harder for fish to see. Lures keep longer in a tackle box with dividers, where points do not tangle or rust. Pliers and a line cutter make it quick and safe to unhook fish and cut knots on the bank or the boat.
