some of the smaller sizes do work from the shore up here but generally they are best used from the boat, either for inshore spinning or offshore wrecking used on a flying collar rig for pollack and coalies, but they do pick up some ling and cod as well

I'm hopefully going to start and make them soon and i was thinking of selling them on e-bay maybe do them £1.50p each or 5 for a fiver but i have to get the stuff first and see what interest there is in them first do my home work :)

I have found them to be excellent when deep spinning for Pollack. Easier than using sandeels sometimes as they dont twist the line. Merv, no offense mate but £1.50 each or even 5 for a fiver is steep. You can buy the Storm leaded shads for around €6.00 for pack of 5 from local tackle shops down here. Shads are available at very low prices on Ebay also.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D

a well to late now i have ordered 30 of them i can always use them my self that's the good thing i always buy things that i can use so if i don't sell them its not money wasted the ones I'm getting can be used for night fishing as well they glow in the dark and they range from 25g-100g when i get them made up and if get the OK from the site boss the best i could find was the storm 6 for £5.99 i will see i MIGHT do 6 for a fiver but that would be it like there wouldn't be much point in selling them to make a loss
