How to find awesome fishing baits at grocery stores and pet shops

GROCERY STORES

Not just a source for canned corn when you’re angling for the likes of carp, panfish or stocked trout, grocery stores also offer a wide variety of other bait choices, from canned snails to frozen seafood. They can even be an affordable source for large dead baits, such as inexpensive frozen mackerel. Chicken livers are another cheap bait date. Want to save even more money? Ask the fish monger or butcher if you can have any scraps.

Frozen, fresh or canned sardines, shrimp, squid and other dead sea creatures of various sizes can also be used for different angling purposes. Whether you’re targeting panfish with small pieces of shrimp, trying to land a trophy pike with a mackerel on a deadstick or hooking into catfish using thawed sardines for cut bait, your options are only limited by your own creativity.
