Fish Whole or cut into strips
Preserved sandeels can also be used for float fishing or fitted with hooks and used for spinning.
These preserved baits are preserved and do not require freezing or refrigeration meaning they
can be stored at room temperature.
The appeal of preserved baits is clear to see – since they do not require any special storage considerations they can be kept at home until needed for fishing, and as they keep for years there are no worries about wasted or unused bait if a fishing session is called off.
You can keep preserved bait in the tackle box and use it to make cocktail baits and eke out a dwindling supply of fresh bait.
