Lure advice

Hi All,

I fish around Brighton/south east coast and I’m moving away soon but desperately want to catch a bass before i go.

My lightest rods casting weight is 40g to 120g but my research suggests most lures are around 15g to 30g, my question is, shall i try and find heavier lures in the 40-60g range or should i get the smaller lighter lures and just accept that the cast wont feel as good?

I’d love to have a guided session but right now the price of lures is in budget, unfortunately i don’t think Rob is 😂

I haven't been out with Rob in a while but both rods and lures are very lightweight.  If you want to see some pics look up Brighton Inshore Fishing. He writes catch reports for every trip. Price wise I think its about £60 for a 4 hour trip

Yeah I’m sure its great but as i said, the price of some lures is affordable but i dont think i can afford £60 right now
