I don't know about the species or anything.

But from my limited experience, the Indos are cheaper(obviously), but also somewhat 'tougher' on the hook, and last longer as far as freezing, thawing, then freezing again.

 just my opinion.

OK so lets say I re-sell each pack for $2.50. How many packs did I make??? LOL

Indos are normally not as firm, but we have used both and the indo's do work

I always have a bucket of salted mulies in the shed for floating down out wide , have used the indo's and they salt well and probably salt down better than the mulies . So if you can get the indo's try salting them and probably work out cheaper again cause they require no freezing so no loss of bait and seem to hold the oil content in

I have used both and prefer the imports, they refreeze better.

i have used both and its a $5.50 difference which is a good saving, i mainly use the indo ones myself and at that price an extra block makes good berley as well

but yea i find that the indo's are firmer!! slightly bigger on the hooks too!! whereis the mulie is just nice bait size...apart from that nothing much differents!!
NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!

indo's are a bit more scalier too where as the locals have more of a smoother skin, both work well though

As burley they are fine, but i've been fishing many times with guys who are using indos and i'm using fresh local mulies and I outfish 10 to 1.

They mightn't be as tough but thats where good hook selection and bait prep comes into play.Plus indos are sometimes months(if not years!) old, the local ones are caught with in the last month or two if you know where to get em. Just my 2.2cents, but i think having used the two, local gets my vote. And your supporting our local economy :)

But i suppose one thing to keep in mind, the Indos are probably caught in australian waters anyway :p

What is an indo exactly? never heard of it

Probably came from somewhere off our coast anyway.

They catch plenty of fish, stay on the hook well and the blocks are great to break up. I usually break a block up and pack individual mulies into chinese food containers (as suggested by Neander). This keeps the mulies frozen longer when you are out fishing and also means that you don't waste a lot of mulies if you don't need to take a whole block.

how big are the bags of bluebait?

I think they are 1/2 kilo bags. Not that sure. There are quite a few in there and I have made up into 3 separate packs to get best value out of them. I guess when you put that in perspective the cost is not really that prohibitive.

The supply should not be an issue, seen them is several shops.

I use local WA mulies up here and find they outfish the indo ones easily.  The indo ones are packaged perfectly and look good, but dont seem to catch the same amount of fish as the more expensive ones.

Never heard of Indos before but if they don't catch as many fish you are wasteing your money.

Funny about Whiting,,it gets caught here goes, to Indo on containers frozen,gets thawed out and filleted refrozen back to Australia on containers and sold as Australia whiting in the fish markets,,,labours that cheap over there its worth doing.

I find they work really well, but others haven't found them to be that good. I guess you have to try them yourself to see what you think.

agree Colin, seems 50/50 on what people think, i myself like them for certain applications

I still reckon they should have let the blowies clean up that whale at Hillarys. It might have kept them busy for awhile.

Would have been good for two quick casts I reckon

Actually, it was interesting as there were no blowies when I fished at Hillarys on Saturday. But that might have been a result of the really strong currents flooding in and out of the harbour.
(Colin 1 - Co-founding member of the prestigious Colin Club)

Interesting! I'm sure they'll make up for it next time you're there

That is something to look forward to - a swarm of blowies.
