Aussie sportfishing was born in the
1960s when LBG pioneers began
casting metal lures in search of
hard-fighting pelagics. Now a new
generation of spinmen is taking the
sport to the next level. PATRICK

URE casting from the
shore is old, really old
- millions of anglers over
hundreds of years have
repeatedly cast lures in the hope
of getting a strike from a
predatory fish.
While modern technology offers
the chance at greater angling success,
the basic concept behind LBG
spinning hasn’t changed. And while
many “advanced” lures have hit the
market, few can rival the classic
metal lure or spoon.
With the new LBG season upon
us, it’s time to get back to the roots
of high speed spinning – casting
long and cranking that metal lure
in fast!

Generation!
