What's your go-to bait for panfish?
#2
You know, I spent many years using crickets and becomming discouraged when the head or abdomen got bitten off and they wouldn't hit it anymore. Many angers swear by crickets, and I did too, until I tried wax worms. Even if there is only a tiney piece of wax worm left, they will still take a swipe at it. At 3.50 a container, you can't hardly beat them considering you catch a fish every couple worms, rather than with crickets as you might catch a fish every 4 or 5 crickets.

Catapillars would have been my top choice, however, they are only availible in the spring around here. They are, beyond a shadow of a dought, the most deadly panfish bait i've ever used. I simply hover my boat under a tree on the river and give it a good shake. LOL, they fly all over the boat, no container necessary. You just grab one as he crawls by. I've never caught a smaller sized bream on a catapillar, and they always slam the bait, no pecking. It probably has alot to do with the time of year as well, but what a pleasant coincidence. [cool]
