Me again, casting metals from the shore. I'm happy for them to drop but always (esp around plymouth) feel and snag is more likely than not but i know thats somwtimes where the better fish are. Do you think sink rates should be a thing for lures for the future?
Yeah definitely, to some extent we already have a few things in the market, major craft for example is constantly updating there range of metals and have started bringing out tungsten jigs which are much denser and therefore smaller then the conventional lead allowing them to sink a little bit faster as less water resistance.. on the other hand a conventional “spoon” like a abu tobey are designed to be worked quickly along the surface being made of stainless steel often much lighter and wider profile so they don’t sink as fast. Always look at the wind, tide and typography and depth of the ground I’m fishing over before deciding what metals to throw would argue sink rates more important then the color on metals, very underrated across both salt and freshwater applications and something I’m sure will have a lot of pioneering on in the future especially from Japan..
Good information fella, thanks for sharing.
@@scottwood135 cheers mate!
