do not get into much detail since you're a beginner ....... alivio rod and a nexave reel is a good combination my friend .... just find time and explore fishing grounds that would be more important than just discussing tackle.

Get hold of some 30 - 50 gms metal jigs to cast as far as possible and let go for sawrell at this time of year.

Try jigging them out instead of making simple retreive ... good luck although it's not the very ideal weather for spinning

Harbours prove excellent at this time of year for sawrell

For spinning you do not need more than a 1m long leader.

There are specific lines that are fluorocoated for spinning, but they tend to be expensive. Best if you switch over to a braided line. No more than a 25-30lb braid for spinning, depending on your setup. The lighter the better.
As I was telling J_Z the fluoro carbon(P Line) cost me 17.80euros. but if it's not good I will unspool it back. I'm only afraid to ruin the guides if I use a braided line.Thanks again clutch kick.

use it as a leader material. P line have a good range of fluoro carbon but at that price i am assuming you bought a fluoro coated line which is good. I use their lines really good linrs but a little too stiff

No it's actually 100% pure fluorocarbon unless they lied on the package

. But what you said is true, it really is stiff.

Thanks Placebo. In fact I was trying to find some good places to go spinning, I just wanted to know if I have the right equipment. THANKS to ALL for the helpful advice. Maybe someday I'll have the chance to thank you personally.

One last thing. which is the best knot used to tie fluorocarbon to braid?

I have just bought a strike pro lures which is around 12 cm is slender and the colour mimicking that of a mackerel , does anybody own a similar lure ? and if so is it any good for barracudas,accol,insomma anything decent that might pass close to the shore?

It's not just the lure.... you have to learn how to animate it properly... every lure has its movement and you have to recognise the technique which suites better that particular lure. Which will make it irresistable to the predators you will be fishing for.

tried a new place yesterday and was rewarded on the first cast..... nothing spetacular, just a serra of c. 300g caught on a popper which was obviously released to fight another day...... but, the way it happened was just like in tv programs, 1. find and try new place , 2. cast lure, 3. retrieve in a popping motion, 4, after moving the lure some 2-4m, bam, fish on...... ps, was using a 2.7 maver rod with an action of 5-25g and a 1500 baracuda reel bought from fishin fever in Rabat (ta Spitec) and 0.18mm mono direct to popper.

Must have been a really nice fight on such light tackle.

robby017 · July 20, 2011, 15:06:57 CET

yes it was and i'm hoping to go abit today as well, my only concern is the wind as the popping effect will be close to nothing..... yesterday, the sea was very calm(zejt bil malti) , issa naraw.

Very true, yesterday was excellent for poppers. Today day-off for poppers for me, the long jerk minnows will get full attention.
