Sidewinder 8" Super Real Sandeels – 50g

Renowned for their effectiveness when targeting cod, pollock, bass and other predatory sea fish, these proven lures are a firm favourite among experienced boat and wreck anglers.

Featuring Sidewinder's famous lifelike swimming action, the Super Real Sandeel combines a slim, realistic body with a supple paddle tail that produces enticing movement and vibration as it travels through the water.

The Super Real holographic finish features reflective inserts and Sidewinder's distinctive Shimmer Skin technology, creating realistic flashes that imitate natural baitfish and help attract feeding predators.

How to Fish Sidewinder 8" Sandeels

Wreck & Reef Fishing

Lower the lure towards the seabed while drifting over a wreck or reef, then retrieve steadily through the water column. The paddle tail generates an attractive swimming action that can trigger aggressive takes from feeding pollock and cod.

Flying Collar Fishing

The Sidewinder 8" Sandeel is particularly effective when fished behind a flying collar weight. The lure can swim naturally as it is retrieved, making this a popular method for targeting pollock over deep-water wrecks.

Vary Your Retrieve

Experiment with different retrieval speeds and depths to find where fish are feeding. A steady retrieve often produces excellent results, but occasional changes in speed can help trigger takes.
