sparkle, it depends what and where you want to fish,I guess for sherry kalamari or squid works well,for baracuda sardine or mackarel,you can even try a lure,rapala sxr 14 is good for beach casting,for safi you can try wheat flour mix,shrimps is effective but doesnt work if you want to cast some distance,hope it helps and yes for most of the baits you should buy either from fish market or lulu .Tight lines .
