got a batch a few months back but didnt get a sniff on it but that can happen anyways, got a feeling the cod and coalfish will take a shine to it 8)

I have done a good bit of research online in relation to that lincolnshire peeler on ebay, most of the feedback is negative stating to avoid, ie poor quality when thawed out, being outfished by every other bait, generally not being any good whatsoever. Personally i think you be better sticking to your local tackle/ bait shop or collect your own. Having said that i havent tried it myself and wont be either. But you could always give it a go out of curiosity.
Hope this helps.

I have used some of that crab mix from ebay.. And will say this only once " Avoid at all costs" It did not work for me on several occasions and at different marks.. You may as well put window putty on your hooks.. Thats what it is like.

you will never beat fresh bait and the fresher the better in my opinion. :shock: :shock:

Its scrap. Complete scrap. Window putty is a very accurate description.

crab mix is complete and utter rubbish,
