Frozen Peeler Crab – Natural Sea Fishing Bait

Our Frozen Peeler Crab is a popular natural sea fishing bait for anglers targeting bass, smoothhounds, cod, rays and flatfish.

Peeler crabs are shore crabs preparing to shed their shells. At this stage, the outer shell begins to loosen, making them a popular bait for many coastal fish.

At Squids In! SEA BAITS, we supply our frozen peeler crabs unwashed to help retain their natural juices and scent. As a result, you get a natural crab bait that’s ready to prepare for your next fishing session.

• Versatile Crab Bait – Also suitable for cod, rays and flatfish.
• Frozen for Convenience – Keep crab bait ready for future fishing trips.
• Natural Scent – Releases scent into the water to help attract feeding fish.

What Fish Can You Catch with Peeler Crab?

Frozen peeler crab is particularly popular for bass and smoothhounds. However, anglers also use it when targeting cod, codling, rays and flatfish.

For example, whole crabs can suit larger bait presentations. Alternatively, smaller sections may work well for flounder, plaice and other flatfish.

How to Use Frozen Peeler Crab

Allow the crab to thaw before preparing your bait.

First, remove any loose shell sections to expose the softer body. Then place the crab on a suitable hook, keeping the hook point exposed.

For larger fish, use a whole crab where appropriate. Alternatively, cut the crab into smaller sections for a more compact bait.

You can also secure the bait with elastic to help it stay in place during casting.

Storage & Handling

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