Live shipping + shipping included. Murex bait. Small size. 1.5kg.

Thank you for viewing.

This is a listing for purple mussels for fishing bait.

These are purple mussels. They are in the same mussel family as the common mussel and are similar in appearance, with slight color variations as shown in the image. The fishing results are said to be the same as with common mussels. As they are easier to obtain at this time of year, we are listing them under the name purple mussel.

The size ranges from less than 0.5 cm to 3 cm, with no specific sorting, and the package contains 1.5 kg. Since we do not sort them meticulously, there may be some mussels larger or smaller than 3-0.5 cm included. We will remove as much dirt, broken shells (including those already open and ), barnacles, and seaweed as possible, but some may still be present. If there is any excess, we will pack more than 1.5 kg.

② As shown in the photo, some mussels are clumped together with byssal threads, while others are individual. They are not sorted.

③ We also accept date specifications. As these are live mussels, they are kept in a special net in the sea after collection. Therefore, we may ask you to change the delivery date if there are continuous high waves or typhoons. Delivery to Okinawa Prefecture and some remote islands is not possible.

④ Since these are for fishing bait and not for human consumption, they will be shipped via standard delivery in a styrofoam box with ice packs.
We have shipped over 800 orders of mussels without any reports of damage, so please rest assured.

If you have any other requests, such as changes in quantity or a desire for larger mussels, please ask. We are unable to respond to comments after the auction has ended, so please re-ask your question if you re-list.
