size of the shiners might come into play ?
and golden shiners I think you are talking about only spawn once a year .
but without knowing for sure what they are calling "shiners" it would be hard to know for sure .
to raise them to bass bait size might get a bit pricey ?
sure is a big price differential . likely do to the size of the bait is my thought
BIG shiners here are expensive like that as well .
and "minnows" are much cheaper .

That's a big difference in price for sure! Think I would go with the small ones and double up the numbers in my bait bucket!
