The Smelts are probably the most popular and widely used Pike bait of all. They have a distinctive scent all of their own. They are commonly known as Cucumber Smelts and that is exactly what they smell like. All of our Smelts are caught in English waters. They are not BLOCK FROZEN IMPORTS!! Our Smelts are landed and we vacuum pack them all within hours of capture, then blast frozen to ensure they remain in tip top condition. Smelts can deteriorate very fast and we make sure our smelts reach you, the angler, in the best possible condition. Medium Smelts are plentiful, but the extra large sell out very quickly, so it is best to order early to avoid disappointment.
