Beginner spinningist today is facing a serious problem. Problem of plenty ))). Not so long ago was exactly the opposite trouble. Go to the other end of town in a fishing shop, which according to rumors has a good range, and come to "the finish", when what you need has long been removed from store shelves in someone's fishing box... Good tackle and lures were few, and had to literally hunt for the right things, using all the acquaintances and relations, tied in fishing circles. With great difficulty the beginning of the season some how to equip your Arsenal that managed to get...
Now, even in the shabby district store of goods for fishing is possible to see a wide selection of all types of lures in all sizes and colors. And in a specialty supermarket like Sports-Hit or Extreme, you can spend a whole day going from store to store , meticulously and asking sellers about new and upcoming fresh receipts of consignments. Came a Buyer's market...

How not to get lost in this vast world of lures from hundreds of manufacturers from around the world? How to buy exactly what you're going to catch successfully and not disappointedly put in a lot of these bright , but not within the fish's taste the bells and whistles?
You think now would be a complicated digression at all-the entire market of fishery products, and endless variety of products? No!)) All kinds and types of lures I gradually describe in several publications. And here, only General advice is don't hesitate to ask! If you have the person who brought you into fishing - ask him. If you have had a good relationship with a clearly more experienced colleagues passion - torture them. Read the literature, see fishing videos, hang out on fishing forums and websites. All I hear from sources that doubt and double check among those colleagues who have earned your trust.

Here is my example. My teacher and friend uncle Jack taught me a lot in jig fishing. At some point of its development, Jack was fond of fishing lures.Plunged into this method seriously, with his head. A couple of years, his collection of lures made up of several hundred pieces - a huge box, jam-Packed with lures from around the world. That he caught the fish that fell into the "sump" and were given away to the less discerning local colleagues. And I continued to fish jigs...
But the moment came when I was invited to try your hand at commercial fishing activities. Be good to catch some sort of one method for successful performances on different bodies of water is not enough. And before me stood a task to the beginning of the sports season to complement a box of lures for different fishing circumstances. I then ran headlong into the store to buy "Pinocchio" suitable in my opinion for a universal set. It would be a mistake and probably a waste of money.
I wrote a letter to uncle to his Wife:
"Hey, buddy, I have to sportinia participate in competitions on fishing. Do not take the trouble, throw me a list of lures that you think will be good for Volga and the Volga. Conditions of fishing, from shallow "zabavnikov" to depths of up to 6-7 meters."
Eugene replied promptly, and sent me a list of "beginner valleriite" , which was kept from me until now ))).

"Something like this:

ZipBaits Orbit 110 m (SP),color 070R
and 039R

The credibility of the uncle of his Wife as a reliable source, I was unconditional. Top of the list was purchased it was with this lure. Then uncle Jack came for a Cup of tea and a couple of hours on the record, said about the animation of each model.
At the first stage in Syzran I am fairly well caught a pike on lures not much behind his then-teammate, honored athlete, medal winner and Champion of many competitions...

This set of lures and is now the basis of my military box. And thanks to the bait confidently bring the trophies at all visits where you have to use lures.
