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... :D 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.

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
