Description Live Peeler Crab Qty 100 What is a Peeler Crab? A Peeler Crab is the common shore crab that sheds its shell to grow bigger. During this pre-moult stage, which lasts about a week, it produces a scent trail that fish find irresistible. After moulting, it becomes a softy—less scent, but still effective as bait. Where to Find a Peeler Crab Peeler crabs hide and bury themselves during moulting to avoid predators. Good spots include: Under rocks (always return rocks to their original position) Weed or kelp beds Be aware: collecting from weed beds can be hard work and may yield few crabs. What Fish Will a Peeler Crab Catch? Peeler crabs are excellent bait for: Cod Smoothhound Bass Rays…and many other species. How to Bait a Peeler Crab Remove as much of the outer shell and under-armor as possible. Keep the legs and carefully peel them—painful, but effective for smaller species. You’ll be left with a roundish piece of crab meat. If the crab is large, it can be cut in half or used whole. Mount on the hook: through the back and out through a leg socket, then secure with bait elastic for best results.
