Considering they do not occur near rocky marks in nature I would not expect them to out perform loacalised baits such as rag or mussels etc. I.e. I do not think pollock, coalies, conger or wrasse would be too interested.

However in the right places (sheltered strands of sand or shingle with a good tidal run) it is lethal for bream ;) but also bass, cod, flounder, plaice and the odd doggie ;)
