Reviewing Wicked Wedges

Rye on the south coast, and our first trip since last year due to heavy winds. We have been blown out for half the year.

Tony the skipper informed us that Cod were about, taking Redgills, Jellyworms and the occasional Pirk so we had the chance then to try the Wicked Wedges sent to us to trial.
As we set off, the sun was shining and the sea was smooth and stayed that way for the whole day.

First wreck and we tried various methods including Wicked Wedges. Everyone was impressed with the construction and finish. Tackling up was a doddle tying on feathers and using an american snap swivel to clip on the Wedges.

A number of bites were recorded from big Cod but as they neared the surface the fish just let go and this was the same the whole day. A few Cod were caught but all to Redgills and jellyworms.

Comments made throughout the trip included : taking of the single hook and trying a triple hook to increase the chances of hooking. The Wedges were easier to control and much quicker to retrieve than our usual bits of lead loaded steel tubing.

All in all, we felt that they would work well but on this day the fish wanted other lures although we will continue to use the two we have left on other trips in the future and will report back on any successes.

Thank you to John Wheatley and the members of the Waltham Abbey Sea Angling Club, Essex for trying out these Wicked Wedges and giving us their opinion.
