Personally DD I would rather spend my cash on fresh crab for summer fishing it must be a better choice than cart. Jamcod.

I'd tend to agree, although if you're fishing an area where there are lots of edibles about, then I suspect edible peeler would be the best choice of all!

There's no doubt peeler crab, brown green or velvet is the top bait in summer, it'll always be my first choice but it's not easy to get your hands on brown peelers, so was wondering if anyone had tried cart in summer as an alternative and if so was it any good?
I've only recently started using it in winter with mixed results and haven't got round to trying it yet in summer on the weed marks.....

Never tried it but even in winter, frozen crab can work so why not give it a try mate. The fish might prefer fresh crab but i doubt a hungry cod would turn its nose up. Keep us informed!

I've never used cart that much does it make a difference or is it another gimmick that comes along every few years I was given a tray to try is it best used as a attractor or main bait. ..jamcod

I guess every bait has its day mate. I've used it a few times this winter. Caught bugger all a couple of times and the last time I used it caught a few fish when nobody else did... I've been using it with lug (blacks usually) as the cart washes out pretty quick. Easy enough to bang a little in a flask just in case! It refreezes pretty well

Have had my best ever season this year, new pb and a better stamp of fish, in the main using frozen peeler and cart wings. In the summer I'll use live peeler but will also try cart - don't see why it wouldn't work.
