There white rag. Different species of rag. They can grow up to 8-10 inches, which are hard ehough to come by but brilliant bait. The small ones can be deadly for small species when nothin else is biting. If you do collect them next time keep them in sea water in a fridge or garage floor

I was just down with Dave Tilly in Ringsend. He says kilos of maddies are no problem.
Anyone interested send me a PM and I can pass on his phone number. I asked him if it was ok already, and he's happy enough.

He has whites, all sorts down there.

He also said posting is no problem.

Hey Eoin,

Was that you who came into the shop when I was there? I was the hopeful looking fella getting the massive box of bait for the open tomorrow :lol:

I've got my bait off Dave since I was 10 in Tilly's Tackle (great oul shop), always top quality, although for any of the specialised stuff a pre order would be needed.
