going to be fishing the next 2 weeks in armier, spinning not with live bait. What would somebody recommend. For example what type of lures, and what should I expect or better yet what are my chances

Spin with various types and sizes of rapala's or similar, and maybe some surface popping lures and you might get into something decent. MartinB is probably in a better position to advise in more detail along with some others.

Hello InterMilan ( I made a big sacrifice to write that nickname! )

Depending on the Casting strength of your rod ( I will consider this to be 10-50g) you should invest in a small selection of lures. 90-110mm Minnows from Yo-Zuri or Maria for example, get a natural coloured one and a high visibility one. You could also buy two small metal spoons, maybe a 20g and a 35g, they will help you cast longer, but they need to be 'animated' by the spinfisher.

Poppers, are good, but not so popular, I guess it's because people think they are un-natural. One thing I know is that they are effective once you have gained a good relationship with your rod, poppers can be lethat for surface predators.

Tight lines and remember spinning is not the most productive of techniques, but you never know what will hit you. If you require more expert advice MartinB is the man to hunt down

... he is one of the undisputed kings of spinning hehehe

You never know what may hit your lure the most important thing is that you experiment with lures and retreive in different speeds and change places by walking a few meters when fish don't bite because you have to find the fish with spinning not they find you.
