Not really mate, it depends on how you use it tho. The flesh goes very soft almost mushy.. so fillets baits are out of the question, but you can use them whole or in halfs. I used to keep a few frozen choppers for when the storms would come through and use them on nights when catching fresh bait was impossible, but i have only ever landed one mulloway on frozen tailor the rest took fresh baits,i think if you have to use frozen baits yellotail or scalies are the go.... but fresh or live is definitely the go if you can help it.

yep, not great bait once frozen. Exception is maybe the head and guts. I sometimes eat the fillets fresh but save the head (gills left intact) and the guts. Heads make a nice bait for rays and sharks and the guts can be wrapped in other fillets or in squid and then used for bait.

Frozen tailor are dynamite for balloon bait, just make sure you plough the keeper hook upwards thru the head to keep the mouth closed.

bit of bait cotton and the fillets are useable altho not as durable

good balloon bait frozen

agreed, would take a fresh herring over a frozen tailor though...

thanks for the info fellas, shame they dont freeze well would of been handy keeping a few frozen fillets for those quiet days when live fresh bait is hard to come by!
