spinning for pollock off the boat

hi lads
i have a shiamno catana rod and reel the rod is rated up to 1.5 ounces and thr reel has 20lb braid on it would this be up to some boat spinning for pollock?
pms welcome
thanks

Yes, you should manage some good sport spinning from the boat with this outfit. Maybe think about a mono leader just for a wee bit of shock absorbtion when using the braid. I have caught decent sized pollack on a spinning rod rated just 5-15gms. Also have seen them pulled in on a fly rod off the rocks. Try the sidewinder lures with this combination, pollack hit them like a steam train!! Good luck.

thanks!
yes i have some side winders and i am getting some more what are the best colours?

You have a pm.

i suppose it depends on how deep the water is and how big the pollack are.

apart from being expensive, i think storm shads and similar are a bit bouyant
and dont sink as well as a shad on a plain lead head

Had great fun down The Hook last year on the same setup. Catana rod and reel, 20lb braid. Even the smallest little pollacks put a nice shock up the rod when they hit it. Lure of the day for me was a small flash minnow with a 1/2 oz ball weight bout 2-3 feet up the trace.

Leadhead and jellyworm, with a strip of mackeral belly for added fun!

It is the most satisfying way to catch them in my book.

Have a look at my blog for our recent outing.

I will be adding the report here as soon as I read the new charter.

Hard to beat the humble jelly worm.

EXCELLENT RESULT, THAT IS A LOVELY LOOKING FISH. I WOULD IMAGINE IT GAVE YOU SOME SCRAP ON YOUR LIGHT OUTFIT! THE WEE SIDEWINDERS ARE HARD TO BEAT FOR THE POLLACK. AS A MATTER OF INTEREST, WHAT COLOURS WERE DOING THE BIZ AND DID YOU FIND THE 4 INCH OR 6 INCH MORE PRODUCTIVE?

the four inch and the pinkish colour for me
