Can anyone help me find my favorite feathers lost my last set last night. pesky weed:P
anyways there was 2 types one was a white feather with silver strands and a red powder coated hook never had any luck with them and still got a few sets
BUT!!!!! the other ones were sorta shrimp like looking yellowie foil and silver on a yellow powder coated hook. where kinda deadly don't think i ever blanked around dusk with them and were always my secret last resort and always managed to tease the pollock seemingly out of nowhere.
anybody got any ideas or am i just gonna have to resign myself to being beaten in the numbers game.
johnston your best bet is probably having a look on some of the online British and Irish tackle shops to see if they have them on display. Try Veals, summerlands, gerrys of morecambe, henrys etc.
Try the Shamrock Tackle Mardi Gras rig..... I have been using it lately, and have had plenty of Pollock and some Coalfish aswell. Tie the rig onto your rod with the blue feather on the bottom..... The better Pollock normally fall to this feather. The Rig will also catch Macks as well.
If its pollack you're after and feathers are your method, the absolute best I ever tried from the shore was a rig that had a mix of red and yellow feathers together on each hook with a few strands of tinsel through it. Where I used to fish in Co. Clare you would only pick up mackerel on standard mackie type rigs, put the red and yellow on and you were all of a sudden lifting into Pollack.....FWIW...
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial
The second rig you are describing sounds like a blitzer rig made by shakeshere i know these are available in southside tackle in dublin, the first rig you described is also a shakespere rig, i have some in my box iTS A CRIMSON JIG LURE

i was talkin to a chap yesterday, he said he takes those red hook traces apart and puts the hook on the back of a kilty lure instead of the treble hook. a killer for the bass he reckoned.
