which is the best allround bait

[paulthespark]

generally when fishing the winter season for cod from october to the back end of april ,what bait would you use if you could only use one type of bait, rag ,squid, lug ,razor clam ect, and don,t everyone say peeler, i've seen squid outfish crab on certain nights, i am just trying to find out which of all the different types of baits that are available to us is the all round best general bait.

[dazzer]

lug

[Craig-A]

i would probably vote for lug worm , its based on opinion and experiences really mate

[Topfly]

Yellowtails

[bigriver]

Lug tipped off with a nice bit of juicy squid, preferably the tentacles on a two hook flapper, very appealing to cod, another decent bait is razor fish and dont ignore the cheap but excellent mussel

[Topfly]

What was the question again ?

[paulthespark]

if you had to choose only one bait to use which one would you choose,

[Iva-Cod-on]

1st Peeler, 2nd Lug

[sage]

it would have to be mussel for me... it catches everywhere... beach, rocks, and rivers, can be used fresh, frozen and even smelly....before the frosts come
to me a very underated bait and readily available to most either free or a small cost..

[Deans]

if you had to choose only one bait to use which one would you choose,

my answer = Blacks

[jamcod]

crab mixed with mussel. 2nd choice clam with black lug ,jamcod

[mick dunn]

I like rag worm and squid.

All my fish this year have been on peeler. Starting on worm baits now tho.

[The Great Wallsendo]

.... Starting on worm baits now tho.

That's handy considering the amount we're spending on the stuff this week

in answer to the question - Mussel

[m ruff]

have to say lug,rag.mussel my opinion worms seem to work better for me in the winter, peeler in the summer
