I haven't used the fish fry...but I have used the maggots,honeyworms,and nibbles. Stuff works. I usually use some type of jig or fly and tip it with one of the aforementioned baits.Never know what the best combination of the day will be...Also have used the powerbait grubs and minnows...caught fish with all of them....fun to experiment with.Have caught a lot of fish in saltwater on vacation with the gulp baits.
