Frozen King Prawns – Natural Sea Fishing Bait (4–5 Pack)

Our Frozen King Prawns are a versatile natural sea fishing bait for anglers targeting bass, smoothhounds, rays, wrasse and other coastal species.

Each pack contains approximately 4–5 large king prawns, giving you plenty of options for preparing different hook baits.

King prawns have soft flesh and a natural crustacean scent. As a result, they’re a useful alternative to traditional worm, squid and fish baits.

  • Frozen for Convenience – Keep bait ready for your next fishing trip.

What Fish Can You Catch with King Prawns?

Frozen king prawns are a useful bait option for bass, smoothhounds and rays. However, smaller sections can also be tried for wrasse, black bream, whiting and flatfish.

For example, a whole prawn creates a substantial bait for larger fish. Alternatively, cut sections offer a smaller presentation when using lighter tackle.

How to Use Frozen King Prawns

Allow the prawns to thaw before preparing your bait.

First, choose a suitable hook for your target species. Then mount the prawn securely through a firm section of the body or tail, leaving the hook point exposed.

For longer casts, use bait elastic if needed to keep the bait in place.

You can also cut the prawns into smaller pieces or combine them with squid or worm to create a mixed bait presentation.

Storage & Handling

Keep frozen until use. Thaw only what you need for your fishing session. Also, handle raw bait carefully and keep it separate from food.

FAQs

Can I use king prawn as bait for sea fishing in the UK?
Yes. King prawns are a popular bait for a variety of UK saltwater species, especially when targeting flatfish, bass, cod, and wrasse. Both raw and cooked prawns can catch fish, though raw tends to stay on the hook better.
Do I need to peel king prawns before using them as bait?
It depends on the presentation. Some anglers peel the prawn to release more scent into the water, while others leave the shell on for durability. If crabs are stripping your bait quickly, leaving the shell on can help.
How do I hook a king prawn for sea fishing?
Thread the hook through the tail and out through the body for a secure hold. For larger baits, you can use elasticated bait thread to keep the prawn firm on the hook.
Are shop-bought prawns as good as specialised bait prawns?
Supermarket prawns are often pre-cooked and deshelled. Pre-cooked prawns lose much of their natural scent, in some pre-packaged King Prawn, enzymes or mild chemical baths are used to soften the shell and make peeling easier which makes them less effective as bait especially if they are marinated in chilli and garlic, cod don’t respond well to them...
