Blueys, also known as pacific saury, are often used on venues where pike are partial to mackerel but have become wary of taking the bait or have just switched off for whatever reason. Blueys are very oily and very bloody. They tend to sink slowly making them a good choice when trotting on rivers.
However, they are quite soft and commonly attacked by nuisance fish. This is a problem that can leave you wondering how much is left on your hook after you’ve left it fishing for a certain length of time.
Blast frozen blueys small 4 to 6 in a packet depending on the size Pacific Saury as its also known as was introduced onto the UK. They are an Extremely Oily fish making them Immensely Good. To look at a Bluey it resembles a cross between a Mackerel and a Garfish. The oil from a bluey has a far greater viscosity than mackerel or herring and as such remains in the flesh and washes out much slower making it far more effective as a bait when using baits of an equivalent size.
You can use Blueys in exactly the same way as mackerel, Fillets, Chunks, Slithers, Strips, Whole or Head and Tailed.
-
Cut the blueys head and tail off and then cut the remaining section in half leaving 2 sections.
-
Fillet or use the blueys as you would mackerel. Use the entire length of the fillet if you are fishing from short to medium range or cut the fillet in half if you are trying to fish at distance for them.
Parcels can take 1-2+ days to deliver, we can NOT refund defrosted baits if this happens so please only order if you are okay with this. We do our best in to keep parcels frozen in the hotter weather which is more difficult, its highly recommend that you are in to take parcel when delivered to put straight into freezer.
