Peeler Crabs Are Expensive... So I Tried THIS!

Peeler crabs have long been considered the number one bait for smoothounds, but they're becoming harder to find and more expensive every year. So I decided to put prawns to the test! In this session at Hengistbury Head, I swapped traditional peeler crab for prawns to see whether they could really compete as a smoothound bait. The results were impressive, with plenty of action and some hard-fighting smoothounds proving that expensive crab isn't always necessary. Could prawns be the best affordable alternative to peeler crab for smoothound fishing? If you've struggled to find peelers or don't fancy paying premium prices, this could save you money and help you catch more fish. 👍 Like, comment and subscribe for more UK beach fishing adventures, tips and tackle tests. #SmoothoundFishing #BeachFishingUK #FishyTom
