Forget your expensive over rated plugs. A bundle of Kilty lures, Abu Rockets and Jensen Tobies will do the job for you. Thats all we used here http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... hp?t=11899 although Alan had some success with a bubble float, 5 foot trace to a size 2 hook and one of the really small Storm Sandeel imitations.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial

Plugs
As far as I can see different lures work better in different places.
I use a Bomber jointed plug around Killiney. It outfishes every other lure. On days where other anglers have been present I have always caught more fish.
Around Ardmore the Kilty is the best lure.
Off the boat I find a Rapala Sliver is the best in deeper water.
I have had no success with poppers even though I have so many that I could sell them. Yet some of the UK anglers seem to do very well on them.
Like fly fishing it pays to have a few different lures and if one does not work then try another.

If you have a look at my gallery there is a picture of the plug hanging from the mouth of one of the bass. This colour is also the most productive.

Thanks for that Stan. Looks identical to a Rebel - and I've found that colour very effective. Also found a few others patterns do the business, Will stick them up on my gallery during the week so that you can have a gander.

Hi lads has anyone got a link on the lures that have been used on the recent posts, just to give me an idea as to wat they look like.
