Here are the main lures Ive been using for over the years, but the best by far is the blue & sliver or just sliver sprat like spinner which only cost €2.50 & have got me some great Pollock year after year & an 8lbr recently on one from the rocks, well woth a try!!

m8 good old fashion'd copper or silver spoon...get few different weights 20g 40g and 60g...for depth...when reeling in...stop for few seconds as sometimes thats when they strike!...best luck

try the good old fashioned ones,german sprats and dexter wedges,but the pollock are scarcer this year,due i suppose, to there commerical value now!

thanks fisherking , not pretending to be stupid here it comes naturally , how do i spin , do i attach spinner on its own ? or do you attach a lead 3ft up the line also ? plus where do you get your lead heads lad ?

It depends on the weight of the spinner & your main line.I use 18 -20 main line with a spinner tied on directly on a light spinning rod with plenty of backbone to handle the big pollock dives, casting out & reeling in at different speeds giving it a jerk every now & again. Should pick up leadheads (jigheads) in any good tackle shop!!

If you feel that the spinner is staying too high in the water even though you are retrieving slowly then feel free to add some weight.

How much and how far up the line are down to preferences but using split shot allows plenty of experimentation if you loosely crimp them.

gorey

I always did well with a weighted Muppet. Pollack can be lazy, with the muppet you can draw it slowly and sink it again.

i remember the first day fishing for pollack with an orange float was'nt getting any bites but every time we reeled in pollack would hit the attack the float. had a few orange flying c's in my bag we stuck them on and cleaned up couldn't miss.

sound lads will try all these techniqes , have everything in bag now so i can just try , thanks again .

Hard to beat the real sandeel,simply spinning it, hard to beat

I always found the jensen spinners to be the best. either the yellow and orange or the silver and green. the Lethal lures are good as well in the silver black and purple colour.

This months Irish Angler has a good article by Peter McGroary on spinning Pollack. To add my own take on things, a deep spun sandeel is the most consistent for me, spun as slowly and as close to the bottom as you dare. 1/0 fed through the mouth and out the gills then nicked into the flesh about halfway down its back, lash on with a bit of bait elastic, snip the tail off and away you go.

had my best ever pollock, a fish just over 7lbs on the back of dunlaoghaire pier on a good old fashioned german sprat. brilliant lure and yet its so simple. jensens are pretty handy to as samo said. also found dexters, kilties and jellyworms spun slowly effective over the years

i find the abu toby lures most effective

Same here,cant really go wrong with the tobys,
the silver and red has brought the best results for me.

What weight of Dexter Wedge would be best?

green toby lures have worked for me in dunlaorigh and howth off the rocks i personally like using shad lures
