Hello Kingcrab, you could try asking your local shopkeeper to try their suppliers for you. I get mine, myself from Bookers for £6.99 a Kilo for king prawns. They also do normal sized prawns for about the same price which is cheaper than worms and great for bass and some big cod. |

hi cheeks and smithy
i use raw prawns all year round but mostly in winter with black lug for the cod 2 or 3 black lug and 1 or 2 prawns on a pennal pulley rig all so i use bits for tip off for plaice and dabs and use bait elastic it's said it's the nearest thing to crab
