They work....better sometimes than others....problem has been that the sand eel runs have been down for a few years....when the fluke are foraging on them they are dynamite bait.

Fish one or two on a hook just like a spearing or in combo with a strip bait like squid or sea robin belly.

Sometimes carefully bending a sandeel or large spearing, breaking their back, can add a nice wiggle to your bait and lessen the spin factor.
