@richardjones2811 it's a personal preference but me and most of the people I fish with use hardbacks and we all do very well. I totally get the effort people go through to get peelers but I'm not going to pay £1.50 to £2 per crab when hardbacks do the same job! Sometimes I find the hardbacks pick out the bigger hounds anyway. I try to save some peelers that I find amongst the crabs I collect and freeze them for when the water is really colored, or I use tiger prawns
