Pre frozen lug

ardinn

Hello

I was wondering would it be wise to bait up some lug and mack Sausage rolls (bait basically) and freeze for easy use when im heading fishing - bearing in mind both are previously frozen.

Would they be any good or would they just fall apart on me after being frozen 2/3 times??

Thanks

Frozen black lug is a great bait, especially up the east coast. You can refreeze it without problems. Razor is the same.
Mack is different tho. Id rather chuck it in the water than refreeze it as it goes to mush!

My two cents worth is that frozen lug turns to mush when its defrosted..it tends not to stay on the hook long anyway and would be one of my least favourite baits.

You're doing it wrong if it won't stay on the hook. Use a bent wire to turn it inside out and pass the hook through a number of times, use elastic bait thread to secure, maybe a small bit of mack or squid to tip off, great flattie bait...
