re Indonesian prawns

[david]

As bait. I saw an article in one of the latest mags, but I cant find it
now, which said that the latest Indonesian prawns sold in tescos,
sainsbury's et al make very good bait. I cant find these prawns...are they
frozen? fresh shelled? in their shells? Anyone know?

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick again??

You've probably eaten them in a late-night takeaway.

They are large farmed prawns, usually ready shelled. They might make a
reasonable scent bait in an emergency but if you're looking for such from a
supermarket you'll do better to buy a pack of sliced liver.

Shelled, or any other dead prawns must be pretty much on a par with shelled
dead UK crustacea which in general are ok as a change bait but not a patch
on peelers for scent bait or live prawns as sight/vibration baits.

Cheerio,

growth hormone and antibiotics in indonesia to get the size......hardly
great for human consumption !!!
