Is frozen bait any good ?
This all depends on the type of bait, and the quality of the freezing. Blast frozen baits such as mackerel, and squid are excellent, and are only bettered by bait caught on the same day. Look for brand names on the bait packets. Beware of un-named packets, these are usually frozen by the shop and are not blast frozen. The bait you freeze yourself at home may be O.K. for boat fishing and as groundbait, but is not as tough as blast frozen baits for casting. Remember that domestic freezers are only designed to freeze a few pounds of produce at a time. The blocks of small squid are also excellent. Blast freezing is not so important with squid.
