Welcome to the group! I'm a warm saltwater fisherman
that lives on a desert island in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean. I fish nearly every weekend for tuna,
mahimahi, wahoo, marlin and sailfish. But I really
miss my freshwater fishing for bass, crappie,
bluegill, trout, salmon and steelies. I really enjoy
reading the postings here because it reminds me I
still have freshwater fishing on my agenda of things
to do. Never heard of those lures you're talking
about but I have been using this new jig out of Japan
called the butterfly jig you may want to try. I have
used it for Tuna, fishing it near a bunch of sea birds
sitting on the water (they're looking at tuna feeding
deep underwater), jigging for snapper and grouper,
even trolling (catching spanish mackeral for bait).
It ought to work for cod and pollack. If they are
anything like the Tomcod in the Pacific, they'll bite
anything shiny.
Good luck finding your lures. Here's hoping for tight
lines and screaming reels to you. Aloha.
