Is freshwater dip clam really works?

[dz6t]

How many of you ever freshwater dip a clam? Does it really work? Thanks

I think I remember reading that FW dips were reccomended when the "pinched mantle" problem was happening with a lot of clams all over the place. I've never seen it reccomended otherwise, never tried it myself. I haven't seen anything about "pinched mantle" reccently.

Were you thinking FW dip as a preventative for "pinched mantle", or for other concerns?

Maybe you could post a question in the Clamsdirect.com fourm (if it's still up and working) and see what you get?

I had a clam with pinched mantle. It took several dips over a 2 week period, but it seems to have cleared up.

Why do you want to freshwater dip?

What is pinched mantle?

It's an infection clams rarely get.
Try a search here, there was quite a thread on it a couple of years ago.
