I went fishing with a mate of mine and he was getting pulled vas virtually every throw with his prawn from QB, my billmoria prawn produced only half hearted bites. He offered me a prawn and I got pulled flat the next 2 casts 2 fish. Maybe it was just coincedence but dam, convinced me that QB>BM havnt tried the other types of baits all that much to comment, but the prawn suckedone stop fish shop or quality baits..dont buy bait from bilimoria anymore
QFTYeah, go for Quality Baits, it's abit pricey but the bait looks so good and fresh! Bait Man prawns look dodgy, but I like how they individually pack their sardines. I buy most of my bait at Target Line.

Ask for Dean or Shane. They normally very helpful with no BS.hey chaps
what do you use Mackies for....sharks?
for Cob i assume i am covered with pillies, Chokka and will try live bait?
any other recommendations?
Seems like target line is the preferred spot, any contact names, just to make sure i use some connection to get the freshest.....
thanks

No mate sorry target line not open on Sundays. I would go to TJ's in Greenfields they are a little more expensive ( BY couple a rands but the bait is always fresh!)anyone know if target line is open on sundays, i will be there this sunday and need bait?
Hey chaps bought at one stop before christmas and got good bait at a decent price but last week the guy tried to rip me 30 bucks each for average mackies ? Bilimoria was way cheaper then but I want to try bait man they in sbdc ?

Tony from One Stop was killed in an accident a few weeks back so not sure what the future will hold there.
Quality baits in the SBDC have good bait except I have often found their chokka to be below par at times. I buy most of my bait at Quality Baits.
I was blown away when I heard how cheap the PE guys get Chokka when compared to EL. We really get ripped off.
