Although I've fished the River Wear here in the north east for almost 60 years, I'm new to sea fishing, many years ago I swapped out the trebles for singles on my lures and when I used Tobies, I added an extra split ring to the rear to cut down on leverage and increased fish loss. With my sea fishing lures, I'm in the process of swapping out the trebles for inline singles, much better for fish husbandry and my own safety too.

Good comment thanks, Another option i have been trialing is swapping the split rings for braid. We can learn a lot from course and game anglers here in the saltwater so appreciate your input

Think I turned into a lure collector not a fisherman now ,trying to stop myself as 90% of my fish fall to a small red gill but they are so shiny 😂

Good introduction and great video as usual. Got all of these lures but can't find the bent minnow anywhere?@

I use a touch of super glue to ensure the bodies don't come off the heads on things like those savage gear lures

If i was starting lure fishing again (in another life) i would buy and use nothing but soft plastic fish and crustacean imitations. The price of hard plastic fish imitations in the UK and Europe is just scandalous, the amount of cash i just threw into the sea that got stuck on the rocks and barnacles in my first season doesn't bear thinking about. If you are looking for big fish you will find them close to the shore, you know that Mathew, ive seen where you caught your big one, two or three rod lengths out, well within reach of a lightweight soft plastic. My biggest shore caught fish is an 85, the one in my avatar, all my monsters have fallen for SPs. Buy cheap, and keep buying cheap, plugs are for mugs.

Great stuff thanks for your input! Don’t forget that some hard plastics are cheaper than branded soft plastics ! I’ve had 7,9 and 11lb bass all super close and feeding close too so I concur. Thanks again we appreciate your input here and I will use that “plugs for mugs” saying too great stuff
