Bait

We are blessed in this area with exceptionally good Dungeness lugworm which is the top local bait for most species. Fresh lugworm (live or wrapped) is usually available (tide and weather permitting!) please call and we can reserve your requirements for collection. We can also send live yellowtail lugworm and wrapped black lug fresh, salted and frozen, see the bait section for details. Maggots, casters and worms are also normally available in the shop.
