[codseeker]

all i know iz they have the same many legs and nippers and they peel the same as most crab

 

[SnaggedUpLad]

All I know is the west coast crabs are more agressive due to the ladies there on. you should seek medical advice ASAP! (only kidding) No idea mate, if they peel the same then they should produce the right scent to catch your cod

A shore crab is a shore crab, they will be fine and the chances are you will have used west coast crab before from the tackle shops anyway.

They are the same as you get over here mate.

I used to collect them from there and used with pretty good results over this side.....When there used to be fish

 

[sandworm]

They fish just the same mate.
They also keep alive longer than the crab we get from the local estuaries,no slek in there lungs......

In my opinion they are best used in the open sea, had better results in rivers on local crab
