There is a wealth of fishing tackle available for the angler interested in this avenue of sea angling

Spinning is my favorite method of catching fish. You really need to hunt the species down, take time over where you are going to go fishing, look at what they are feeding on, use lures right for the conditions and get great sport when you hook a fish.

Selecting tackle for spinning depends upon what types of lure fishing you intend to do and the locations that you are going to fish for example spinning rod length depends on the following,

1. Rock ledges require a longer rod. 10 to 11 foot is ideal in my opinion as you can get the lure back from an over hang without getting to close to the water, especially if it is rough.
2. Longer rods are good for light ledgering. I often use a light carp rod to spin and ledger for Bass and Flounder.
3. Shorter rods are better if you have foliage over hanging you behind ie when you are plugging for Bass in estuaries.
4. Plugging from boats and kayaks is easier with a short 8-9 foot rod. You can bring your catch along side the boat far more easily and from a kayak you don’t have such a long butt section to get in your way.
