bait

[kajydog]

Hi all

As I've just started fishing again, most of the fishing I've done I've used squid from the local chinese supermarket. It's only a couple of quid a box. I've recently bought some baby sqid from a firm on Ebay at £15, approx a hundred. Has anyone else used this bait and what do you think of it?

I've used baby squid in the past and had a bumper bag of dabs from the beach Cut them in 4 and they're great for tipping off lugworm or ragworm.

cheers for that Rob. was thinking of using it as a cocktail. Cutting it into 4 pieces I hadn't thought about sounds good to me.

thanks again

Living inland as I do I tend to only get frozen black lug and some rate it as a good cocktail mix with squid. however, last time I fished your way a bait shop in Cleveleys had some live lug but that was over a year ago. I think if he still does live that might be a better option than frozen? was thinking of fish 5 Bar this weekend.

fresh blacks will be like rocking horse s**t in the winter months and i personally dont think they are any better than fresh yellow tails or blow lug this time of year ..
100 'party squid' for 15 quid is expensive mate !
try 'squidsin' sea baits for some great frozen baits and good prices..
watch out for cleaned squid as its had all the manky fish attractants washed from it ..

Hi Scottish and Metal.

Thanks for the info. These baby squid arrived this morning, 2 plastic type takaway tubs, They were defrosting as they arrived and when I unwrapped them and opened a container they weren't cleaned and still in their own juices so that is a bonus. Your right though they seem a bit expensive. It says that there's approx a hundred, as I don't fish as often as most anglers I've worked it out that I'll use approx, half a container a session. so thats not too bad. still I'll definitley check out your source.

Regards
