Most of the peeler you buy will be peeled already and frozen down. It thaws within an hour out of the freezer. When thawed cut the crab in half and bind it on your hooks with elastic thread. It should ooze with yellow stuff. It gives a great scent. Im suprised you havent caught bass on lug man. If you have lug stick two above the hook and use a quater or half a crab depening on size to tip the lug off. It can work a treat. If you are in the right mark putting in the hours using crab or lug you will defo catch bass man.

Stick at it the rewards will far outweigh the hardship :lol: :lol:
The finest gift you can give a fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
