Anyone branched into LRF on the site? been doing it now since November and I've never had so much fun! Bait rods don't get half the use they used to!

Got myself an LRF rod and a few mini lures recently, and I'm looking forward to getting started when the weather improves. I see you've been busy, that's quite the species count you have for 2013.

Thats thanks to the LRF man, Able to target things that you don't pick up too often with normal sea fishing tactics...

I'm totally hooked on it. I've been catching mainly pollock and wrasse, they're great craic on light gear. Great for perch too when the weathers been too crap for the coast!!

ya have a hart bloody evo rod rated 0.5g to 3.5 but it will cast to 7 g no prob.i have had a good few species with it pollack, sand smelt, whiting,rock goby,scorpion fish which are crazy looking.i use mainly power isome with a size 14 hook and sliding cone head and various other softies.i am looking forward to trying the isome on the float for other species this summer , oh and lrf is a great way for kids to get into sport brought my little nephew and he loved it.

One important point is always be prepared to be able to land a bonus fish. I always bring a 3 m long coarse match fishing net with me to land bonus fish after losing a big pollock when the line broke lifting it out of the water

the next time a big bonus fish came along the lrf rod easily got a 3 lb wrasse to the net for a quick pic and safe release back

Amen to that brother! The fight you get off a bigger fish on LRF gear is amazing too...

Power isome is a great catcher. Works for most species. I use the large size pink colour. I use about 1/3 of a worm on a size 8 jig head to bounce slowly along the bottom.
Also had good good success with dropshot rigs + power isome

Exactly what this man said! ^
I sometimes like to fish an Inch of Isome, kept on with an inch of gulp white rag... bingo bango mini twin tail! Purists will tell you that Isome is cheating, but if you're having fun, who cares?
Don't discount getting a couple of the Ecogear aqua "pocket in" packs, they're also impregnated with goodies and have been very successful with those too..

Me, my son and nephew are lovin it and cant wait for it to get a bit warmer and west clare will be getting the bang again

What Rod and Reel Mainline are you throwing your lures with Dan? 7g seems awful heavy, don't think I've thrown 7g on any of my LRF rods yet, We tend to stick around the 1-3.5g sort of area...
