Frozen Peeler Crab?

#1 Post by trouble »

Hi All,

I have a chance to get my hands on some frozen peeler crab. Is it a good bait? I know the fresh stuff is top notch but I've never used frozen. How does the frozen stuff compare?Is it any good?

Trouble.

Frozen stuff can be top class if its frozen down right. Usually i find the stuff thats been peeled, lungs removed and wrapped in tin foil prior to freezing the best.

i have found frozen crab to be an excellent bait when fishing for flounders smoothies and coalies and it can out fish fresh at times.

I think the Yays have it. Sound like its worth a shot. The guy I'm getting them off comes highly recommended.

Thanks for the replies.
