Best Pollock Lure

#1 Post by offdawall »

What is the best pollack lure to use on the reefs off Cork. Jellies? Shads? Gills?
What are the best colours?

Any info greatly appreciated

Black with red fire tail works anywhere that I've fished, 6" curl tail is my favourite.

cheers for the info. I have found the firetail jellies to be good in the past. I must have a look for some sidewinders.

Wave worms . A scented stick bait fished with a jig head. Outfishing all the traditional favourites at the moment for pollack and cod , no one sure why :? ? But the proof is in the catching.

Tempest swidewinders are great for pollock . Spinning rods from rocks and and a flowing trace from wrecks.

Not forgeting the old reliable rubber eel in red or amber on the troll, never fails to catch.
