This is a sale on Trademe this evening. This is for 10kg of frozen pilchards in 1kg packs. They went for $40.00, only $4.00 a kg, about half of what local shops Napier/Hastings are selling them for. Of course there is postage or courier to be added, $20.00, so that equals $6.00 a pack, still a good money saver and for a quality product.

So come on you guys that work in sports shops, how about trying to match the catch, your customers deserve better. They are the guys who buy rods, reels and the tackle to fit them out.

These are 1st grade pilchards, they are freeflow so you can take as many out as you want without defrosting the whole lot.

Pick up or couriered within the North Island only, no rural delivery, Fastway will deliver in 48 hours to all destinations close to all main centres.

Will come delivered frozen in a poly bin worth $14 which you get to keep.

A famous expression: It takes a sprat to catch a mackerel. In this case pilchards or anchovies will do just fine.
