Kelvin 2,200 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Are you referring to Mantis Shrimp?http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Mantis.htmI have found the saltwater yabbies to be a superior bait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin 2,200 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 They have two big sharp claws on the front. I have caught YFW and bream on them but after been bitten a few times, I release all Mantis shrimp I catch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
