1. Crab
2. Lug
3. Mussel

As individual baits or mixed cocktails
Most of the lug I'd use would be to top up a piece of used crab from the previous cast

On the East Cork beaches I would never use mackerel, sand eel or squid as baits for cod . that not saying they will not catch cod it's just my opinion.
