I was just adding another critter to the list.

I've had much better luck using wax worms, than I have using meal worms. And I've caught larger sunfish, using the stalk borer larvae, than I ever have using wax worms. The problem is ... stalk borer larvae are very seasonal, occurring only for a short period of time as a "worm". They're found in the wild, and not commercially grown.
