Pillows at Paragould has them for just over $6 a pound. It takes me about 2 months to use a pound, so most of mine die of old age or heat exhaustion before getting eaten by a fish.

About 9 bucks a lb at toad suck ones. They dip pretty heavy and minnows are always nice and froggy.

Bingo!!!

Please don't take my comments as disparaging toward fishing with minnows. I have never used them due to the way I have fished and who I fished with. My uncle was the one I fished with most often, he had a thing about fooling a fish into eating something they shouldn't be. I have never spider rigged or long lined, not that I am opposed to it, just never done it. My little brother won't fish a plastic jig, he is very opposed to it. Shoot, I may just have to try a minner next time I go, I may even try fishing at night with a light. Both would be new for me. How many minnows are in a pound?

If I remember correctly the number is how many it takes on average to be a pound . #8 it takes 8 lbs for a thousand . Is this correct ? Had a baitshop in the 1970's when most folks used minnows .

I got 2 dozen at the bait shop at Overcup Saturday. He charged me $6.50! I just about passed out.

I quit going to the bait shop at the south ramp of Overcup, I always bought a 1/2lb, one day it would be 7.50 the next 8 something, sometimes 10. Some days it would look like you couldn't fit another minnow in the bucket and the next looked like a handful. The people at the other landing, the one Junior use to own always have the same price, and you never question whether you got as many as you paid for.
