    Prawn Bait

    Every years some shop sells 50# bags for around $50. I have not seen any this year and I need a new bag. Any leads? Best I can find is around $70

    Cheers,

    I am so happy Robert at PNT didn't want my business.

    As I found out today the Shar-Kare sells 55lb of really oily prawn pellets for only $49.99 every day of the week. That is 20-30dollars cheaper then any where else I know. Plus it is way cheaper then paying $30 for the 5lb buckets else where.

    And no they are not farm pellets or trout food.

    It really pays to shop around, especially in this town.
    When I was looking for game cams a local shop had on for 279 ...that was on sale. Their best price.
    Cabelas.ca for the same thing was 199.00

    Ouch!
    I could ship it to China for 80$

    Thanks FA for the pick up of the pellets. They do look good and if they work as well as we have heard, a person will not need to juice them up with prawn oil as they are greasy just out of the package.

    I have been using the Share Care pellets for the last year and find they work very well, better than the drier,. non oily ones I used to get from Buckerfields. I find they are so oily you have to rotate the container every month or the oil just becomes a puddle in the bottom.

    In the interest of reduce, reuse, recycle does anyone re use their prawn pellets after a soak?

    I bought one of those 11 pound bags from wal mart for about $27. Not near the deal FA got. Anyways I went prawning on the weekend, the traps soaked for about 5 hours, I got a years worth of prawns so the bait was not wasted but I am tempted to leave the soggy pellets in the cups and try re using them.

    Does anyone do this and how does it compare to fresh pellets? They don't look too broken down but they are deffinetly soggy. Is it best to just go with fresh stuff or is this something that can go back down for a second soak and produce similar results?
