RAZER FISH ?

[mickser]

hi lads has anyone heard of slightly cooking razer fish to make them more tougher for hooking as mine seem to be very soft and unable to stay on hooks for any period of time or is this normal ?

Placing them in near boiling water does seem to toughen them up especially the foot also aids removal from their shells. Plenty elastic thread is required though if you want them to last on the hook for any length of time.

If you cooke it and then eat it yourself. Use bait elastic to hold any soft baits on.

I've used cooked razor to tip rag worm, alot easier to handle, but haven't yet caught with cooked razor alone, plenty of elastic will help though

Bait elastic is the answer I use it to attach soft baits to the hook and it works grand.

Beware the re-frozen Razor.... I tried refreezing them a few times then when I went to use them I almost puked!! Had to keep them down wind from the beach buddy all comp! Plenty Coalies though!

thanks for all the ideas about using the razers some helpful and one rude anyway I have found the method and it works

I find the best thing to do with them if you are not fishing them live is to put them in the sink (dont put the plug in) and pour a saucepan of boiling water over them. It kills them quickly and makes them a good hook bait without over cooking them.
