black lug

just got some big black lug and im wondering what to with them.i heard you can gut them and roll them in newspaper.hw long can do you leave them in the newspaper for before using them

you can gut them and wrap them up in news paperand freeze them. they will keep a long time mate,some shops up here are selling black lug for about £3 for 12 lug frozen and in news paper.they are selling well to.

9 yo yos down here

Micheal, there two shops i know selling them for 7

well eric dont keep them to yourself

instead of gutting and then freezing them, get a good few
baiting needles, or something similar, thread the lug two or three, onto
each baiting needle, then freeze lug, bait needles and all, when you want
to use for fishing, transfer them to bait-type cool-box, dont let them
thaw out, thread the worms onto the hook frozen, they thaw out in
seconds in sea- water. really works a treat fishing them this way,
saves a good few quid, having to buy them, only freeze the lug once
anymore they turn to mush.


regards steve,

If you want to keep them a bit longer then gut and salt them, then after salting wrap in paper and put in freezer until you use them.
I tend to salt mine right down to leathery then they rehydrate well on the hook. I also leave mine out for a few days in the sun in a plastic carton to get smelly and sticky and then salt and freeze them. Good bait for flatfish. Also a good allround tipping bait.

tnx lads i decided to gut them nd freeze them down when they went sticky will try them nxt comp im in.
