Shellfish Baits

Tue Nov 01, 2011 4:34 pm

Hi Lads

Was just wondering if any of you have used shellfish baits, I know mussels work well but was thinking about the freezer department in supermarket with the likes of frozen prawns,shrimps etc.... I am not sure if they are pre cooked or just blast frozen so I dont know what the scent trail would be like. Could they be used in a cocktail for cod???

Any ideas lads.

i'd say blast frozen prawns shouldn't be much worst as crabs bait as pre cooked ones badly staying on hook
anyway the best way is to try

When i was living in Scotland we used tiger prawns, proved very good for the coalies and pollock, cant see why they wouldnt work for cod also,
