Crabs are scavengers, so they will eat anything that is dead, human flesh too! :P
So when buying baits, you dont need to get the freshest bait or wake up early just to go to the market and buy. Head down to your nearest grocery store eg. Shop and save. In the late afternoon an they will be clearing whats leftover from the morning. Heres what i saw
and heres what i got!
Grand total receipt! I left one pkt at the beer.. So had to check out twice ><

Re: Tips on buying baits for crabbing!
Will the crabs be more attracted if the bait is left out to rot?

Re: Tips on buying baits for crabbing!
I'm no crabbing expert but if it can attract more crabs, I believe it will be due to the rotting stench that increases attraction radius. This is also when the monitor lizards join in the feast if it's in a shallow or intertidal area.
Re: Tips on buying baits for crabbing!
i guess so.... went crabbing at west coast park and tried using rotten kunning. quite effective, attracted a big muddie. however, it was clinging to the bottom of the net and was eating the bait through the holes of the net .....
