I once used them to great effect on a commercial carp water where they'd
been introduced but the only thing I caught on my local river was eels! A
local angler uses fish strips for Chub so I guess if you trickle them into
your favourite Chub swim you could induce a take or two!

Tight lines

Cleaning out the freezer - found a year old bag of peeled prawns!
Any good for a freshwater bait? :-)
(My river = chub, roach, barbel if you're lucky and the occasional
bream/carp)

Put 'em back in the freezer 'til late autumn/winter. (You should have
used
them fresh but you already knew that.) Then thaw, mince and incorporate
most
in g-bait reserving a few for the hook.

Cheerio,
