Best rig to use for Lures

[s1mmo440]

Hi, Went Spinning last night and was using a dextor wedge and also tried some diving lures for bass but felt I needed to add some weight on as could not cast out that far....

What rigs could I make up that would suit these types of lures to add some weight on? Would a pulley rig be ok for using lures?

Many Thanks in advance

If you are using dexters or diving plugs then no further weight should be added. You should be able to get a plug out 40m or so with a decent spinning rod. A 10ft rod + is best.

If you want to fish deep and at distance then try a deep fished sandeel or rubber eel / jelly worm.

Simple rig, shockleader (clear), slide on weight (ball weight less wobble and twist or a 3oz/4oz pear weight), slide on a bead, tie on a swivel and then 4 to 6 ft trace. Finish with a storm eel, jelly or frozen sandeel. Cast to the horizon and wind it back in slowly. Bang!!!

Probably more pollock will hit this than bass but who knows.
