Hermit crabs are becoming more widely used not only as a replacement for peelers when out of stock but have become recognised as a great bait to use when fishing for smoothound. The Berkley Gulp Peeler Crab can be a good lure option for catching fish that feed on crabs.

We supply top-quality peeler crab in packs of 4. We put this down to their unique scent, which has been proven to attract fish from long distances. Peeler crabs are renowned for catching fish such as Bass, Skate and Eels amongst others so it is understandable that peelers are highly prized amongst anglers. If you want to catch cod, smooth hound or rays then peeler crabs really are a must-have bait as they have an uncanny knack of producing bites when other baits fail. The crabs come into the shore to escape the dangers of the deeper water when peeling, as they can be easily found by predators due to their strong scent. They are often found by locals along the shoreline underneath rocks. 15 in stock Baitbox Frozen Falkland Squid £6.90 Add to cart 20+ in stock Baitbox Welsh Black Lug x 10 £5. 20+ in stock Baitbox Frozen Trout £4.10 - £7.20 3 choices available. 20+ in stock Baitbox Frozen Roach £3.70 - £6.99 4 choices available.
