Jelly worms?

[wilky83]

Anyone like to point me in the direction of a good online shop to buy these and are the black and red ones the best??

[ShaneH]

you will get bags of them on ebay and all coulers work but the black and red ones are the most popular

[rustyhookthomas]

try Doug in "The Shore Thing" in Westport 098 28447
i got a bag of them from him for a few euro,
i'm sure he might stick them in the post for you.

[Cormdogg]

Do you spin them or ledger them?

[youngrod]

try cork angling centre or baumanns in dungarvan

[bitsinbobs]

aye cormdogg i would like to know how to use them , any i've see had no hooks

[corbyeire]

2 ways you use them generally - hook through a lead head and spin as you would a toby/spinner - or sometimes you get them in pairs (usually with the hooks!) where i would jig them at your feet more than trying to spin them

can be deadly for the pollack - use rubber fish also and stick the lead head through it also - works a treat also

change the clours too - if the black/red combo doesnt work - another might

Na, Tell him Pete sent you... All manner of colours and sizes in Halfway, black and red, green, those tempest/storm sandeel imitations and the small leadheaded storm shads all work well from the shore. If you must buy online, Dan has a website, http://www.tackledirectireland.com I think it is.

I usually use Jellys with lead heads or with a bullet above the hook knot but would prefer heavier for a better cast. On a program last night a lad was using a sliding weight in front of a jelly. His set up was hooked jelly - knot - bead - 4oz weight and that was it and it was getting huge pollock. Seemed a bit strange to me, is this a common set up? Would it be better to have the jelly on a leader then a swivel, then bead and weight? What's the benefit of it sliding? Simpler the better?

Keeping the lead away from the jelly gives for a more natural presentation, leadheads, especially the heavier versions, can be a clumsy way of presenting your jelly especially if the fish are being fussy. Try using your bullet about three feet away from the worm, stop it with a swivel so that it can travel freely and then attach your hook/jelly on to a length of mono tied to the other end of the swivel. Worth a go if your getting nowt on the leadhead, using a heavy ball lead can also give you that bit more range.
