Hard back crab for wrasse

Seen Henry Gilby fishing for wrasse on the west coast using hard back crab. Does this method work on the east coast marks or am I best sticking to peeler and rag...?

Will probably try both at the weekend and post results.

Cheers

from my experience the hard backs are great for the bigger wrasse but rag will outfish it for the smaller ones

Yeah thats what I thought...

Only one way to find out I suppose.
