Depending on size a full one on a pennell is good for bigger whiteys, never had much luck with them for cod.

Yep.

Bin them. Or eat them.

why not try putting them back in the freeze, but before that blend them with some stinking bait i.e squid, mussle... owt ya fancy... get some sausage skins and hook them up to some premade snoods.. then back to the freezer.. not sure if they'll work like but its always worth a look lol

They sell sprat in Morrisons for cheap prices. Often thought should i get some for boat fishing but i think they are to soft and will fall apart. Maybe ok from the beach or pier if using a de-vice?.

I remember me and phil185 used them a couple of years ago on big beach. caught plenty of coalies and flatties on them. Just whipped them on with a bit of bait elastic.

Mash them up with other smelly baits and stuff them into squid bodies and stitch them shut. Hook them up using a pennel rig. They can be used for either shore or boat fishing
