I don’t associate decent Pollack fishing with summer, but located a number of good fish in West Cornwall that tested LRF gear to the limit. Great fun on metals and weedless plastics.
Metal Jigs
Using Metal Jigs is one of the most active and exciting lure fishing 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. They are normally cast out or jigged vertically in deep water. Sink-and-draw is a successful technique and fish will often attack metal lures on-the-drop.
Red Heads Make Me Hard
Bernard likes red heads too!
Flounder on Metal
Yes, that’s a flounder on a metal jig. That is all. [caught while kayaking in Tobago]
Best Vending Machine in the World
Certainly one of the coolest things I saw in any of the Japanese tackle shops I visited was this vending machine.
Tackle House Shores Streamer
Not cheap, but a damn sight cheaper than they would be in Europe. How could I pass up the opportunity to have a couple of these gems in my arsenal?
Tict Maetel Mini
Found these Tict Maetel Mini slow jigs on the Lure Heaven stand at T&G. Super shiny, chromed metal jigs with a wide profile. Silver, gold or pink. Look great.
Hart Rock & Street Metal Lures
The Tronix stand displayed an array of new metal lures from Hart, including a number in their Rock & Street range – perfect for LRF.
