The best alternative to expensive Peeler crabs bought from the local fishing
shop is, of course, free peeler crab collected from the local shore...

Before I spend out, has anyone tried any of these baits
from this suppler?

Don't bother. It'll be some sort of scroff crab squeezed into a sausage
skin. Almost any fresh bait will be better - it just *might* be better than
ancient, freezer burned, refrozen, leftover bait in an emergency - but if
you're that stuffed for bait go spinning.

While there are a few chemical triggers which might be added to baits to
make them a little more tempting to a fish it's unlikely that sport anglers
would get any benefit from using them (there might be a measurable
difference if used on a 1000 hook longline), the sport angler renews the
bait sufficiently often that the extra scent of fresh bait is far more
attractive than the margin added by the trigger.

Cheerio,
