Fishing Rods For Beginners

Are there any lures available for rods (not fly-fishing rods) that float on the top of the water?
If so, please give me information on what fish are best to catch this way, where, and methods. (shallows, deep waters etc.) Give me information to the brim. I am a beginner trying to learn all I can and would very much appreciate the help.
There are many lures of this type….. just look through the RAPALA Lures & STORM lures catalogue, and you’ll find plenty.
Like all lures they’re mainly used for catching predatory fish, such as Pike, Perch & Bass…. see this British article on the subject: http://www.esox.co.uk/new_page_22.htm
If you really want to learn as much as possible about fishing, I suggest investing in copies of:
