Try here, Jonty,

but as far as I know, there is no one doing rag down that part of the world, but you might find crab or perhaps frozen/dried rag. Tried last year and failed.

Frozed will be fine for wrasse. Get a small polystyrene box and tape it shut and you should be fine. Just get it into the freexer as soon a syou land to keep it in top nick.

Hello Jonty,
If you're after wrasse don't forget hardback green crabs, they must be one of the easiest baits to collect.
Wrasse fishing for many years, tried them last year as an experiment, landed my first specimen wrasse within 90 mins with my last crab (the big one left at the bottom of the bucket!).
