I’m planning to do some shore fishing for bass later on this year, but I’m pretty clueless about it. Please could someone give me some basic advice about the gear I’m likely to need?
I want to use plugs and surface popper lures from the rocky outcrops along the Purbeck coast in Dorset- which I understand is a great place for bass fishing like that. I have a 2.4m (almost 8’) medium-weight Shimano Beastmaster spinning rod, which I use for pike and perch fishing, and I wonder if this would be suitable. It casts 10-30g lures, and I can reach fifty or sixty yards easily enough with it. It has handled pike to 12lb without too much struggle, but should I be looking to buy a longer and heavier spinning rod for bass lure fishing? I'd be very grateful for any advice. Many thanks! Mike. -------------------- What's interesting is that, though anglers are rarely surprised by a totally grim day, we nearly always maintain our optimism. We understand pessimism because our dreams are sometimes dented by the blows of fate, but always our hope returns, like a primrose after a hard winter. ~ C. Yates.
