we had a tone of prawns we used for berley and they worked great. They were bought to mix in with berley but no one would buy a white berley bomb.  Needless to say when we mixed them up with blood an bone and oats the fish came up spewing them all out.

few years ago a container lost power and a whole heap were sold for bait, they were like $15 for a 10kg carton, brought a few cartons and once you got the snaps going on them they just went for it....

Bought some whole prawns a while ago from Top Catch I think it was. They were $5 for about 500gms. Tried them on Monday without much luck, but it was a day when the fish weren't interested in anything offered. They stayed on the hook well and the mushy stuff they have in their heads seeped out nicely.

Also tried some cooked prawn cutlets off the rocks on the Manukau the other week. They got a few hits and a kahawai fell to one.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:36:45 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49972&PID=708476&title=prawns-for-bait#708476 <![CDATA[PRAWNS FOR BAIT... : Shedz2 - I think New World usually...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49972&PID=708465&title=prawns-for-bait#708465 Author: Tagit

Shedz2 - I think New World usually have the whole prawns for about $14 - $15 per Kilo. I would use these with the extra body juices and more natural look rather than the cutlets.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:30:27 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49972&PID=708465&title=prawns-for-bait#708465
