Cornish Hard Back Crab 3-4 Per Pack
£3.95
- All crabs have an annual molt to allow for growth.
- Our hardbacks are not in a molting state but are caught locally and frozen rapidly, perfect for smoothounds who love a crunchy bite.
- Peeler and softies are a deadly bait for bass especially.
- A crab that has just shed its shell completely is known as a ‘soft back’. Their jellylike bodies are oozing with intense scent and juices.
- Just before they have shed fully, they are known as peeler - The shell has just began peeling away, hence the name. This is the prime stage of attraction, making them a highly sought-after bait.
