To go fishing with spinning equipment is simple as well as effective. Most species can be caught on the spinning rod, from a boat or from the shore.

The vital part of the equipment is the spinning-reel, preferably with two different lines, 0,25 and 0,35 for instance. The thinner line (0,25) to be used for smaller fish, such as perch, char and rainbow trout. The thicker line (0,35) is more suitable for larger fish, such as pike, salmon and large char. The rod should be about 6-7 feet long, for baits weighing around 5-12 g. If you can afford to purchase two rods, they should be for smaller (5-12 g) fishing and larger fishing (10-30 g).

An efficient way to catch the 1-3 kg pikes is to glide along the reeds and throw the bait as closely to the reeds as possible, and maybe find a "hole" to get in among the reeds. This fishing can be both amusing and entertaining, and it lasts during the whole summer season.

The spinning fishing might also work for rainbow trout and char. Early spring as well as late autumn are in general the best times for these species to be caught. However, the perch is the most common spinning catch. Spinning at so-called piles of brush-wood from a boat is probably the most rewarding perch fishing method. Different jigs which swim, together with small, dark spinners are excellent baits. The pike can be caught on spoons, larger spinners and wobblers.Feel free to try both "natural" and more bold colours!
