I see a lot of people casting with their power hand and then switching hands with the rod and reeling with the same hand that they cast with so its perfectly workable
Westin gives you a proper range, including suspending, sinking, and low floating options: 6.5cm, 9g 8cm, 16g (suspending) 8cm, 19g (sinking) 10cm, 31g (low floating) 10cm, 34g (sinking) 12cm, 53g (suspending) 12cm, 58g (sinking) 13.5cm (suspending) and 13.5cm, 86g (sinking) 15cm, 107g (suspending) 15cm, 115g (sinking) So, how do you choose sinking vs suspending in Irish conditions
However I have found varying the retrieve really helps and don't be tempted to strike, as hard as it is, when a bass hits, as often they are stunning the lure with their flank and they will hit it again shortly after
If youre casting something weighing over, say oz (15g), then its possible to cast enough line off the spool of a spinning reel to create a sharp angle and create a lot more friction for line leaving that spool ( e.g
Buzzbaits are the noise-makers of the topwater category
