Re: what lure and colour
For a cheap intro that wont break your heart (or credit card) if you lose a few, try Kilty weighted plastic shads, you get a handful in packet for 7 or 8 euro and they do catch. Blue (they call it "sandeel" I think) and darker shades seem best in clear conditions, the brighter ones for gloom/dull water etc. There's a cheapish (8 euro) surface popper called a Bass Buster which I'm told is as good as pricey Yo-Zuris when the fish are feeding. My advice: don't spend top money until you get the hang of it, you'll only lose them and get discouraged.

Re: what lure and colour
My advice would be to read all you can in this lure forum , there are plenty of lures on the net and in shops that are designed to catch the angler rather than the fish, so better have a look here first before you buy.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!

Re: what lure and colour
go for the kilty lures 28 g, either the full silver holographic one of half holo half plain silver the work 80% of the time all the time
, but honestly they are amazing, also try some toby lures blue\silver seems best goodluck.

Re: what lure and colour
get a few lures for different light condtitions bright colours for bright days and dark for dull evening fishing, and add some lures for surface fishing and you cant go wrong! Alle Mags, Crystal Minows and the Maria Angel Kiss would be a great start.
