    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$

    Check out the half pallet price on Carlise cat food man. Ask them about the price break and cut off.

    My buddies and I have been on the Shar-Care program for years!

    That pepperoni you gave me was awesome by the way.

    Having dealt with Shar-Kare for many years in a different business, I will say this - they are a tough but fair retailer, and they pass on their deals to their customers.

    I think if you mixed Carlisle cat food with prawn pellets, you would be golden.

    A suggestion, if you made that slurry and froze it, it might make for easier transport, portioning, etc. Yogurt cups might be a good fit for bait containers ....


    Mmmmmm, prawns.

    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.
