I know that crawlers have to be packed in bedding and not dirt. This doesnt seem right since the crawlers we sell come from Canada. Also you can bring dead minows over the border…We vacuum pack them….and im not sure but I think leeches are not allowed and I’ve heard they sell there minnows by the doz. and there costly..but dont quote me on that….Rand (Hastings Outdoors Bait and Tackle)
