fresh lugworm ,blacks fresh or frozen,yellowtails ,mussle,razor,ragworm,and even mackerel strips.

almost forgot squid aswell

[paulthespark]

rag and squid

rag and half a squid, remember cods have big gobs so bait up big, plus you want to send out a strong scent trail for the cod and any other fish to home in to, specially when there is a big sea running.
