Had a 4lb 2oz about 2 weeks on ragworm at Brixham. Plenty of Wrasse about but not had one on the lures lately.

Hardbacks are definately worth a try!!!!!

I catch a few by accident while lure fishing for bass -- with soft plastics and also with hard sub-surface plugs. But lately I have had less than usual. I think the wrack beds on one of my marks, where I used to get a lot of wrasse and pollack -- were ripped away by the storms.

 

[Joe-sw]

Do tackle shios normally supply hardbacks or would i have to scavenge for them, also whats the best way to fish a hardback ? I had a wrasse have a go at a diving pencil hard plastic before, was surprised to see it, must be territorial instead of hunget

If you really want get one on lures try an xlayer they will take them all year round due to the scent, bit expensive for general wrassing though.
