Price of Bait in Ireland

Any chance of letting me know how much Ragworm is to buy in Ireland. I live in Holyhead so Dublin is just a hop over the Irish Sea. I've been told that there's plenty of quality Ragworm in the Emerald Isle. We could set up a little import/export business. In Britain a decent Ragworm costs about 20p sterling. Cheers

Dont know about the East coast, but we dont get king rag here on the west coast.
Just had a group of lads come over from the West of Scotland and they brought some cracking king rag with them, some of them were over a foot long. digging locally they were getting about 200 of these snakes an hour.
Maybe you would have better luck on the Scottish site.
good luck

Thanks for that Baitdigger much appreciated. There was a time I used to dig King Rag in Holyhead untill they built a marina over the bait beds, gutted.
