Complete Guide to Mullet Spinning - Catch Thick Lips, Thin Lips and Golden Greys on Baited Spinners

Spinning for mullet with baited spinners is the simplest and arguably the most enjoyable method of targeting them. It can also be very effective! While there is plenty of information out there on mullet spinning already, the focus is always on single species (predominantly thin lipped mullet) and the full potential of the method is not explored.

Join Hookpoint’s Ben Conway on a journey from muddy river banks to sandy surf beaches as he takes you through everything you need to know to catch mullet on baited spinners. While most UK anglers only use mullet spinners to target thin lipped mullet, as Ben demonstrates, they can also be used to great effect on thick lipped and golden grey mullet.

With all three UK grey mullet species caught on camera using both natural and artificial baits, and in-depth explanations of gear and tactics, this is a must watch for any aspiring mulleteer.
