The Rule Of 6+

[Dudfield]

if the ruling is 6+ why is it that most LFS sell them in 5's

always seeing 5 for 5 pound on most fish ???

now 6 for 5 pounds would be a great deal

its a way to get you to buy another 5 fish. But yeah, most LFS will sell 5 fish for a tenner or the like.

an interesting read. True that it doesn't state anything "we dont already know", but good to see some evidence of actual research that supports the idea.
