Description
Squid is a bait with universal appeal to just about every saltwater species swimming in British waters. Can be used whole singly for big bass, or in twos and threes for 20lb plus cod during the winter. Single squid also take rays, huss and conger. A great bait for black bream and dabs cut in to 3cms x 0.5cms strips to move in the tide like a small fish, and as a tippet bait with worm and mackerel.
Supplied in a 1lb Frozen Box.
Features
- To prepare squid for strip baits, firstly cut the head off and remove the clear coloured cartilage that forms the backbone of the squid. This simply slides out with gentle thumb and finger pressure. Now peel off the skin which comes away easily with the fingers or the back of a knife. This leaves a clear white flesh. Cut the body open down one side and lay the flesh flat for cutting.
- A good tip for big winter cod is to remove the head and backbone, remove the skin but leave the body cavity whole. Fill the body cavity with lug or mussel and slide the whole parcel on to the hook. Now secure with bait elastic. You can stab the bait with the point of a knife to release more scent if you prefer. This bait concentrates lots of scent in to the one bait, and has the added advantage of keeping hungry crabs at bay when they are stripping baits too quickly for fish to find it.
- * Please note, alternative brands may be supplied, depending on availability.
*** Important Information PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING ANY FROZEN PRODUCTS! ***
Although every care is taken to ensure your frozen item arrives in a good condition, we ask that you read and understand the below before placing an order with Frozen products:
- All frozen baits will be packaged securely in bubble wrap with gel freezer packs to try and keep them cool for as long as possible whilst in transit.
- Delivery is usually the next working day following dispatch. We do not dispatch frozen orders on a Friday or near a Bank Holiday.
- You will receive a confirmation email when your order has been dispatched so this will give you an idea of when your parcel will be delivered.
- Please ensure that someone will be available to accept the delivery, we will not be held liable for spoiled bait if no one is available to accept it.
- The order should be delivered 24-36 hours from the time the order has been packed. This means that the bait will defrost before it reaches you, this is perfectly normal but we recommend refreezing the item as soon as it is received.
- If you have ordered dead bait, sometimes your bait may have redness/blood to it. This is common and to be expected. The bait is still absolutely fine to use.
- You are ordering frozen bait over the internet which will take time to be delivered, the bait will not be as fresh as when it was originally packed from the sea, lake or river but it will still be perfectly good to use and will catch you many fish.
- Thank you for understanding and we look forward to your order...Tight lines!
