Long‑casting metal lures, spoons and jigging blades from Gerry’s Fishing
At Gerry’s Fishing we stock a carefully selected range of metal lures for sea bass, including long‑casting pencils and metals, spoons, and shore jigs designed to cover water quickly and provoke aggressive strikes. Our metal lures are chosen for casting distance, realistic flash and durable saltwater hooks, making them ideal for shore, rock and boat bass fishing.
Which metal lures work best for bass and why
Long‑casting metals and pencils are essential for searching water and reaching distant gutters where bass often hold; they cast far and fish well in wind and swell. Spoons and jigging blades excel when bass are feeding on baitfish near structure or over wrecks, offering a tight, flashing action that triggers reaction strikes. Many anglers also favour sandeel‑profile metals and weedless options for snaggy ground and kelp margins.
How to fish metal lures for bass
Start with a searching retrieve using a medium‑fast steady strip to cover water; when you locate fish, vary speed and add pauses or twitches to imitate injured bait. Use heavier weights (20–60g) for long shore casts and lighter metals for calmer, shallower conditions. Match lure size and colour to local forage — silver and sandeel tones are reliable choices for UK bass fisheries.
Choosing the right tackle and maintenance
Pair metal lures with a fast‑action rod and a reel spooled with 15–30lb braid for long casts and quick hooksets. Replace split rings and hooks with saltwater‑rated components to maintain hook‑up rates and reduce corrosion. Rinse lures in fresh water after each session and dry before storage to extend life and preserve finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What weight metal lure should I use for shore bass?
For shore bass start with 20–40g metals for general conditions and step up to 40–60g in strong wind or surf to reach distant marks.
Are spoons better than pencils for bass?
They serve different roles: pencils and metals are great for searching and long casts; spoons and jigging blades are better for vertical work and tight, flashing action near structure.
How do I avoid losing lures to snags?
Use weedless or snag‑resistant patterns and adjust retrieve height; try lighter metals with a faster retrieve to keep lures above kelp and rocks.
Do I need special hooks for saltwater?
Yes. Use saltwater‑rated hooks and split rings and replace them if corroded to keep lures fishable and reliable.
