Promised myself I would share my favourite gear of the year as we approach the end of 2014. And what a year it’s been! UK lure fishing has gone from strength to strength. LRF seemed to explode. Feels almost commonplace in some areas now. We gained a lure fishing series that saw our techniques and tackle tested. And more mainstream tackle manufacturers tried to get in on the act. So what did I like and why? More

Bass and Blue Skies
It’s all too rare to get a day fishing with both the weather AND the fish. What a cracking day! This thin, but very welcome Bass took a Spro Mini Bucktail Jig skipped across a sandy ledge. An ultralight approach proving that clear, bright conditions aren’t so tough after all. 4lb fluorocarbon leader. 7g rod. Great fun.
Decent LRF Pollock
Nice pollock near my LRF PB. Pleasing as I was trialing a new lure for me – the Spro Bucktail Jig
LRF School Bass
School Bass caught on 5cm Spro Trout Master Snake Paddle lure fished on an Illex Gambit Straight jighead – one of my favourite combos
