Ran down to the local creek this morning while wife was in exercise class and did a quick bait challenge, and ended up on a tie, 4 gills for the Bison Colored Trout Magnet and 4 Gills for the Lunkerhunt Spade grub. Had only an hour to fish.
All baits were tipped with the Berkeley Wax worm and sprayed with the Sauce. Main lake was chocolate soup.

If you have a pet supply store or a bird feed supply they usually have wax worms and meal worms.

Yes, but a fly rod is more fun than this:

I prefer a Bandit 200 myself ! :-))))) Went Bass fishing and a Bream fight broke out!

Usually takes a big buegill to hit a bass plug, even though I've hooked a few that weren't much bigger than the plug. We figured it was trying to mate. LOL
Fishing in a friend's pond I discover that an F03 floating Rapala will catch bream, crapie, bass and an unwanted mudfish that broke the plug. A really effective all around lure. It's about 2" long. Got it in a gift pack. Couldn't find locally after the mudfish episode so I had to order online.
BH, love your Pondtoon. If I had it to do over that's what I would have gotten.

Here's a picture of all 3 species caught on the same plug. We managed to get the mudfish(bowfin) off without bringing on board. They are a handful.

For artificial 1/64 jig head with Panfish magnet jig in root beer. For live bait, #8 cricket hook with cricket. For both styles, I use 4'6" UL rods from Wally World with Pflueger Trion reels. 2# test.
