Mackerel feathers

Mackerel are our country’s most prolific and recognisable fish. They are found along the whole coastline of the UK, where large shoals mean bumper catches are a possibility. The most effective way of catching mackerel is to use a string of feathers which are is many types
these are a small selection of mackerel feather.








These are basic lures that are retrieved through the water or jigging from a boat mimicking small bait fish all colour's seem to work well from plain white through to vivid day-glo orange or strips of glittery tinsel and silver reflector strips designed to glint and flash through the water we all have are favourite types these "sabiki" my favourite.





Most mackerel feathers will cost around 99p a pack

Your right mate I enjoy feathering but only till I have enough for bait
then the big baits go down

Really good fun on light gear

I saw a photo of one caught from Pwllheli beach yesterday and have heard they are showing around Mackeral Rock on the boats.

Great fun on a light rod with a single small rubber eel.
