you could also run crankas, theyre great during the warmer months when fish are feeding higher up the water column but can be fished on the bottom too

With the metal blades, you can buy the really cheap ones online, they all work. Just drop it down next to a pylon, let it sink to the bottom, then wait about 5 seconds and slowly lift up your rod. You'll feel the lure vibrating. Let the lure drop back down to the bottom, wait another 5-10 seconds and lift again. Do that a few times and if there's nothing then move to the next pylon.
Usually the bream will get hooked when you lift. No need to strike. You can also cast parallel to the dock and do the same thing, sink to the bottom, slow lift, sink, lift, etc. That seems to work better than just teabagging straight up and down.
Slow is the key.

Cheers Eddy, sounds like my kind of lure. Hopefully grab some this weekend and head out in the next few weeks for a crack.eddyt wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 3:38 pmWith the metal blades, you can buy the really cheap ones online, they all work.

Yes, that's mostly in summer where the water is super clear and they can be anywhere in the water levels/columns. They're hard to fool in that condition.
Winter/spring after rain with blade is usually the easiest. My most productive was in Aug/Sept, drizzling rain, sunset. Just vertical jigged the blade.
Here's some photos of them in the 30s cm, on ecogear vx35. This was central pier, before it's closed.
