I heard a rumour this time of year Limpets are killer for bass, so got some of them too.

I've used Baits'R'us, which i've found local to me that do mainly internet sales, uk wide delviery next day, but have a great selection of frozen baits, but also live peeler, sand eels etc. Frozen stuff is much cheaper than my local tackle shop, Rag is almost 50% more expensive so won't use them for that, but for frozen, don't think you can beat it! As i'm local i rang up this morning and collected at lunch time!!!

I'll wait and see if i catch anything before putting a sure fire recommendation up for them lol, but as for selection price and 'visual' quality, have to reccommend!!!!!

on the industrail estate ?? got crab,squid and worms off them last week - spot on for the price we paid

Slipper limpets are great after a south westerly blow when the bass can gorge on the free pickings -
