Elecmuso 77 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Knowing cockles have been difficult to source lately I rang ahead to BCF to ask whethere they had cockles and where they were sourced. The answer I was expecting was Thailand in which case I would not have bothered going (have purchased these before and found them to be way inferior). Instead he said 'I've been told they are from Melbourne or Sydney' so I figured that was a reasonable compromise. So I drove to BCF and these are what they had. They didn't look like the interstate variety to me, and looked just like the Thai imports I'd tried once before. I left without bait (to make it worse they were out of gents!). So exactly what are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rybak 622 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Probably imported mud cockles by the looks. Definitely not "goolwa" cockles. I would have thought SA Bait & Tackle would only supply good quality bait.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malb 62 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I used some of these recently and they were pretty soft and mushy. Hard to keep on the hook. Didn't seem to appeal to the fish so much either, but that may have just been the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
