They love peppers (the large ones), especially when I'm growing some in the greenhouse :mad:

How well do they hold up when hooked? (slugs that is, not chub)

In the garden at my old flat, a neighbour's dog used to come in at nighttime and do his business..

 

The early morning sight of a slug-covered canine stool used to greet me quite often..yuk!

 

They love coffee as well..if you leave a half-empty mug out, any slugs around will soon home in on the mug.

 

I agree with DG..the black ones are loved by chub, and I've also caught perch, and once a jack of about 2lb, on them.

 

The worst thing about them IMO is removing a mangled one from a fish's mouth. Not a pretty sight..

 

Don't know about freezing them, though..

They've got a sort of oval-shaped callous (can't remember the proper term) on their backs, which is tougher than the rest of their skin, and which is the place to hook them. They hold up really well.
