They are getting some fantastic write ups in the mags.... There must be something to them. :lol:

In Total Sea Angler for August they are fished along side sandeels in a test. The blueys out fished the sandeels on evey test that was done. :shock: Apparent the dogs and rays went mad for them and left the 2nd hook with the sandeels alone! :shock: The only time that the sandeel caught was when they were fished in a cocktail format with the blueys. 8)

I'm not sure though were we can buy them. In last months mag it stated that they were only available to the trade. :evil:

They are a new bait on the market supposed to be brilliant, they look like long Herring, The ones i got were sold as Pike bait ?

after doing alot of searching for 'blueys' i gather it was a bait name and not the actual name..

the nearest i could find that describes 'blueys' is the 'Atlantic saury'

what price are these goin for lads?? reckon i will try them over some different types of sessions and see what they're like. i can't see them making a massive difference? i could be very wrong but if you're fishing effectively with 'old shool' baits(!) you will catch just as many fish?

Looks very like a skipper.
