How to spin fish

Spinning fishing is a modern, dynamic technique that allows you to fish while doing a lot of movement.

Today on the market there are many types of artificial baits, each with its own characteristic. Swimming, movements, smell, color or even just reflections can be the key to changing our fishing day. The most used artificial baits are definitely spoons, minnows, casting jigs, Stickbaits, and all soft artificial baits.

A careful choice of artificial bait does not only concern the fishing action, but also the reading of the environment. In scenarios with intense light, metallic or reflective colors can attract a notable variety of predators, while in murky waters or with poor visibility, darker shades or artificial baits equipped with sound vibrations could make the difference. The ability to calibrate these options puts every angler in a continuous strategic challenge that goes beyond the simple casting.

By casting an artificial into the water we are simply trying to deceive the predatory fish. A predator is just waiting to attack, so it will waste no time attacking an artificial that is swimming like a wounded prey or that has moved away to its school.

Spinning fishing in freshwater.

This technique is mainly aimed at fishing for pike, perch, black bass and trout. The technique consists, as already mentioned, in trying to cast your artificial as far as possible, trying to animate it to trigger the predatory instinct of the fish. This technique can be practiced both from the shore and from the boat.

Freshwater environments offer numerous opportunities to experiment with different casting techniques. Anyone who has tried to get close without being perceived by the fish knows how crucial a stealthy approach and the ability to manage your fishing rhythm are. Especially in narrow rivers or closed lakes, silent movements and a thoughtful choice of casting point can transform a fishing trip into a real triumph, allowing the angler to venture into new explorations. The best times for spinning are definitely dawn and dusk, although there is no real rule. It all depends on a series of factors that, if well mixed together, can make our spinning fishing trip unforgettable.

Do not forget that among the prey of spinning fishing is also included the catfish, one of the largest and most powerful fish in our fresh waters to which a real technique in its own right is dedicated.

Sea spinning fishing

The predators that turn into prey in spinning fishing are in particular sea bass and bluefish, followed by lecce, barracuda, dolphin fish, bonitos and even his majesty the tuna. The sea bass is perhaps the most commonly caught fish by spinning. It is sought between the mouths of rivers, where it constantly moves in search of food. The sea bass prefers both surface lures and silicones. Often slow animations with silicones that fish by crawling on the bottom give excellent results. If you are in the open sea and have adequate fishing equipment do not hesitate to cast an artificial with strong hooks among the feeding frenzy. Often a tuna can appear and will not hesitate to chase and attack your artificial that moves away from the school of fish that form the so-called "bubble".

The importance of wind and currents

Atmospheric conditions, such as wind and currents, play a fundamental role in spinning fishing, especially in the open sea. Wind can affect not only casting distance, but also the trajectory of lures, while currents alter the depth and speed of recovery. An experienced angler will know how to read the sea and use these elements to his advantage, choosing the optimal combination of lure and retrieval style to increase the chances of success. Those who manage to blend knowledge of marine weather conditions with their fishing technique often find themselves enjoying the most memorable fishing experiences.
