Fishing Bait

Lugworm is a much favoured bait for sea fishing which with a bit of planning can be collected easily and its well worth the effort. There are two main types for fishing, blow lugworm and black lugworm. Lug will catch almost all UK sea species

This is a very wide question that I have been asked – What fish baits should I use for UK sea angling.

OK, Razor Shell is the same as Razor fish. I am getting about 2 people a day asking me if they are the same beast.
