Look after them...looks like they're valuable now (even though Operation Sea Angler is published on the web). Will probably get rarer & more valuable.

Typical! I did try to find a mixed size pack. I suppose we learn by our mistakes.
I added this link above: Mike Ladle's Fishing Diary...as it was the original article that got me interested in this, & one of the image pop-up captions mentions a 6/0 hook being used for the large mackeral bait. (Although I'd be inclined to keep a mackeral for personal consumption! ).

BTW heard last week that the EU have reduced cod quotas but increased mackeral quotas.
