metal jig
Using Metal Jigs is one of the most active and exciting methods in the LRF arsenal. Metal Jigs are available in a wide array of shapes, sizes and colours and can be fitted with small treble hooks, singles, or assists. The are normally cast out or jigged vertically in deep water. Sink-and-draw is a successful technique and fish will often attack the metal lure on-the-drop.

Unexpected bonus this evening. Found a thick shoal of Poor Cod on dusk. Made short work of them with a HTO Shore Jig. More
Pouting on Metal
Have to say, I really enjoyed fishing for Pout on Saturday. There, I said it! They were obliging, but not too easy. You still had to present the lure right. Good fun. A few lumps mixed in too.
