pike and perch.co.uk

Have you ever used spinners for pike and perch?  Just lately i’ve been out trotting the river banks and using a wide variation of spinners and lures, and one type of spinner keeps producing more than the rest put together.  Its the Abu Reflex spinners and boy have they thrown up some suprises!  When i think all is dead in a swim and its time to move i chuck one on and give it a go!  So far its produced perch to 2lb, chub to 3 and half and pike just seem to whack it for fun.  Albeit at the moment only jacks its still good fun!  Last Sunday jacks were hitting it on the drop, i thought it was just luck so tried other spinners after to no avail.  Even on moving tried the others with no results, back on went the Abu Reflex and low and behold another pike.  Was it just sheer luck or was this one hell of a special spinner!  I guess i’ll just have to keep experimenting!  I’ll let you know how i get on.  And if you have a fav let me know what you’ve caught and we can post it up for others to enjoy.

One of my aims this year is to catch some pike, perch and chub on spinners & lures!  So far so good, i’ve had pike to 6lb, perch to 1lb 8oz and chub to 2lb.  Fingers crossed it will start to improve! 

For anyone else who fancies a go, i can highly recommend an ABU Diamond Crest Spinning rod from England Angling, for £16.99 Delivered it is an absolute bargain!  I phoned a few places on the web to discuss rods and what they would recommend for someone starting out… “You definately need this rod atleast” was common place, and when enquiring about prices they were all over £50.  Now to start out i didn’t really want to spend that much, main reason was i wasn’t sure how much time i’d get to go!  When i asked about cheaper rods i was told time and time they were useless and a waste of time.  Disgusting really as i could have been a total newbie to fishing and this wouldn’t have been the greatest of starts. 

So i thought the £16.99 cheapie from England Angling would suffice for now!  I opened the parcel and first impressions were good it seems well made with a nice solid cork handle.  I was going to go for a lighter outfit but i thought at 20-60g i could play with spinners and larger lures if i want, whilst at the same time having a bit of a backbone incase i hook a croc!  So far so good i would recommend this for anyone wishing to have a go.    I have many friends who now own one and are thoroughly happy with their purchase!
