Special targets like smuts aside, is peeler reeeeally all that as a general bait? Even targetting bass I find it highly variable a bit better over rocks etc, but for me lug outfishes it everywhere (though you do get plagued with schoolies on lug), and squid outfishes it from beaches.
I used to think of peeler as almost The top bait, was always told it was, but going on my own results it's only a goodish backup.
[The frozen stuff in Fordy's sure ain't worth what they're charging for it!]
from Dozza's recent thread got me thinking about peelers.We used peeler crab and harbour rag for bait, both baits fished as well as the other.
