Pricey bass plugs

[Nooo Fish]

Alright everyone.

I'm getting my gear together for the summer (can't wait) and I've been looking at plugs like the megabass zonk Gataride, IMA Komomo.


Are they worth the money over the cheaper ones I've got already or should I find the fish first.

[Peever lad]

Worth every penny 👍

You should find the fish first , start reading learning about the fish and there habbits , the ground they feed over and start reading about water craft , it will all help you . It wouldn't harm having a couple of the more expensive , better quality, proven fish catchers,

I've been looking into it for ages mate. I'm not expecting to chuck a lure anywhere and catch. Just want to give myself the best chance i can.

Thanks.

The Maria Chase bw is a good lure to start with, silver Holo is the best colour but I think they have discontinued that colour, but you might get lucky and find one. The komomo is worth having in your box as well

If you fancy some of the Komomo II's, PM me. I went a tad overboard in last winters sales, so have a few 'swaps' BNIB. NOT the JFP before anyone asks!

[bassking]

you will need a babyp and frosty aswell

If over par has a spare chameleon flashing plate komomoII then go for that one. That thing catches fish anywhere and is particularly good over very shallow ground.

Thanks for the replies and pms lads. Theres far too many plugs to choose from for a beginner.

Had another poor session with the bait off the rocks yesterday so I want to start with the lures asap.

I caught my first coley of the year though. I didn't think they came in till it warmed up.

Try soft plastics, lie Senkos, Sluggos etc. much cheaper than the hard bodied expensive Japanese plugs and work just as well, look at Henry Gilbeys blog for more information: Henry Gilbey - Blog

Buy cheap lures and you will end up spending more in the long run because they don't last ,buy a half a dozen proven lures which catch in the areas your going fish and learn how to use them,

There has been quite a few good catches on lures around the north east..The best I have had is a 3lb sea trout but the better catches seem to come from st abbs and eyemouth
