Frozen Hermit Crabs (6 Pack) – Premium Maine Bait
Wild-harvested right from the cold, clean waters of coastal Maine.

These frozen hermit crabs are a top-tier bait choice for serious anglers. Each vacuum-sealed pack contains six whole hermit crabs, frozen immediately after harvest to preserve their natural scent, texture, and freshness. Hermit crabs are a favorite bait for targeting tautog (blackfish), sheepshead, triggerfish, redfish, and other crustacean-loving species. Perfect for bottom rigs and rocky structures, their soft bodies release an irresistible scent trail once cracked or cut.
Sustainably hand-harvested from the Gulf of Maine’s working waterfront.

A hermit crab without a borrowed shell home!  Acadian hermits look more like squat lobsters than crabs.

A hermit crab without a borrowed shell home!  Acadian hermits look more like squat lobsters than crabs.

Tidepool Tim says, "Hermit crabs are a lot of fun to watch and keep in a tank. They're naturally social creatures and are often found in small groups. They're vulnerable without their shell homes, so when they start to outgrow their residence, they keep their eyes out for a new one. They have even been known to help each other look for new shells, and form lines from largest to smallest when a new shell shows up to their environment. They also like to decorate their shells with camouflage and stinging anemones for protection. If you have a hermit crabs, look out for empty shells on the beach to bring home for them!"
