An old man once told me to spray ur bait with dw40 as the oils drift and takes the scent further never ever tried it tho maybe it is worth a try?

I tried this about 6 sessions in row last year i didn't catch more than on any other day

There are times when cod will only touch certain baits and leave the rest. Seen it many times when they have hit crab within a couple of minutes and not touch worm etc. and only take rag and not lug. For me there are days when bait choice is vital .
Bluey will give off a massive oil slick as well which is incredible. When I fished norway the other year I tried off a boat and put a chunk on. It looked like it was raining with all the oil drops coming to the surface.

A type ov fishe u can use as a bait

[mick dunn]

Bluey is all i use when we go to Norway. Mind there is loads more fish out there as it not had the tits fished out of it.
You can buy bluey cheaply. 3 fish in a bag for under 4 quid - or wholesale on Baits r us.
As to baits for cod i think any will do but the cart seems to be the boy at the moment.
Mick.
Roll on the boat trips when i can use a £1 pack of daylights and catch a bag of cod.

Is bluey a good bait all year round for tipping worms off I've heard a lot of people using iy but never tried it and is it a good bait on its own?

[Billzo]

bluey is a very good bait, as has been said it gives off a big oil slick.
u can use it as a tipping bait 4 flats & whitties they go mad 4 it, or u can use a fillet of bluey wrapped round a crab, mussel, squid, razor, lug or rag bait 4 cod but flesh side out.
or use a whole bluey head & tailed on big pennel rigs 4 big cod & conger.
only thing u need do is use it frozen or just part frozen,if left 2 fully defrost then it goes 2 mush & its much harder 2 bait up. i carry fillets in a 2nd food flask.
