What are the best spinners and lures for sea fishing

Best sea fishing lures
I was recently asked this question via email, regarding the best spinners / lures for sea fishing.
Hi I’m a complete amateur when it comes to spinning . Was just wandering which are the best all round spinners and lures to to use on the south coast.
Well the answer is not so straight forward, I need to know a few more options first, like.
- Do you mean in the UK?
- Boat fishing or Shore fishing
- Any species in mind
- Have you got a budget for your lures?
- What tackle and rods have you got already?
Anyway, I will try and answer your question -
- If you are looking to get the fastest results and are new to sea fishing in general I would recommend using mackerel lures on a light beach caster from a local pier / deep water mark. You will find Mackerel one of the easiest species to target. It will produce good sport and hours of fun and is a great way to progress your casting technique.
- From a boat, it depends if you are looking at wrecking – jelly/hook tail worms work well. Bassing – trolling rapala and casting a dexters wedge can provide good results
- Different species are attracted to different lures to get best results. But always fish a larger lure than you might think.
- If you have got spinning tackle then have a look at this article – Saltwater lure fishing. You should find most information you need there.
But, I must say, budget no problem and for the best quality, most successful salt water lure in my opinion, I would go for the Rapala range of lures. They are strong, swim well, and take a good beating. Just change the hooks regularly and tie them on well using a recommended technique.
I hope that helps. Anymore questions please reply by email or commenting on this post!

Sea fishing uses lots of different approaches to land that prized specimen. Matching the technique to the situation is the key to improving your success. Float fishing allows a different approach to solve problems and cover ground. You can also present baits very attractively and target all the layers of the sea i.e. the surface right down to the sea bed.
