"A new breakthrough in crab bait technology, for sea and course anglers alike" they said.
"We can now offer fresh crab that does not decay for several days" they said.
"Stays firmly on the hook during power casting" they said.
"All the catching power and odour of fresh crab" they said
I believed them.
Unfortunately, no-one told the fish.
What is it? In short, these are small bits of soft, crab putty, held together by a wee bit of net.
These are supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have yet to find out what WAS the greatest thing BEFORE sliced bread, but I am sure that it wasn't these things.
I was just about to write that they are PANTS when a thought occurred to me. Perhaps I would have a better chance of catching fish if I used my pants as bait instead of this rubbish? Maybe next time.
At 11 quid for 24 "nuggets" they are reasonably priced for decent bait. Unfortunately these are NOT decent baits. Drill a hole in a 50 pence piece and use it for a spinner. You will have more luck attracting fish that way, although it will cost you a quid more.
Fishing for cod in the North Sea, a couple of miles off of Arbroath, I blanked. I grannied. I flopped.
Whilst 8 guys on the boat caught 4 or 5 cod, in the region of 4 to 6 lbs, I caught hee haw. Zilch. Not even a Mackie !!!!!!!
If you want to go down the pre-prepared bait route, throw some squid, mussels, mackerel and bread crumbs into a blender and zap it. Wrap the goo in bits of non-woven gauze that the wife can get from the first aid box in work, and Bob's your Uncle.
Alternatively, why not use natural baits like anglers have been doing for centuries?
"A new breakthrough in crab bait technology??"
Perhaps. But NOT a good one.

(+) Cheap to do when done correctly, good results. (-) FEAR FACTOR - You will look silly if you do it without results. Difficult to carry a large amount.
