When I was a kid I once used Peri Winkles bunched up on a hook as I was short of bait, resulting in 1 small Bass. I never used them again as I always had rag, lug, mussel or squid. For sure they will work, especially around rocky wrasse and Bass areas. I don't fish with bait myself anymore though.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!
