I've try'ed all types of bait except the blueys that the uk lads use ! Anyone use them and can they be got in ireland ?

They can be got, as for any good? Used them before with no luck. But sure try them out urself and make up ur own mind

used them aswell to no luck,,,,the british lads over there reccomend them highly and maybe they are better than i think,,,,,,,,,,they say they are one or if not the oilest fish for scent araound and they give off scent far longer than a mackerel even,,,,,,,,,,i dont know im definitely going to try half a fillet this year for some autum bass

I have fished with them before and found them pretty good especially if u pair them up with lug or rag worm

paired with mack lug razor squid crab . they seem ok but on their todd they are crap I fished 1 spot 2 different days with mack on 1 rig and bluey on the other rods were cast out at same distance had about 7 fish on mack and nothing on bluey i even rotated rigs and rods and same story for the next day about 6 fish on mack and zip on bluey i was practcally casting baits in to the same spot .
i would not rate them for mayo fishing but thats just me

useless in my opinion, maybe the fish in england have different taste buds or there sense of smell is not the same as a paddy fish

Have used them 3-4 times and can't say they are a miracle bait. But they certainly more oily than mackerel, a lot more. Prob havent used them enough to give a proper review though.

havent really used them much but was told that fresh mack is much better, but that they are slighly better than frozen mack

Had heard great things about blueys a few years ago so tried them on 3 sessions and found them useless, stock up on macks, far superior imo..
