King rag, i know its not easy to get in some parts but it has outfished all other baits for me, all around the coast and the smoothies love it too.

Half a fillet of Mackeral on a pennel pulley is after accounting for 4 Bass over 10 lb for me and a hole Razor for another specimen, but Lug , Rag and Crab also work well
If I'm not gonna catch a fish , I may aswell not catch a BIG fish !
