I don’t know on that one - strange indeed. I wonder what it reminds them of? Perhaps in the past sautéed with Slab Garlic Sauce?

Wigglers = May fly nymph here

when they are guarding nests ANY jig will do and yes even bare golden hook when ran out of live bait on one of few times I used that.

Jig tipped with bee moths here in Indiana. Different than a meal worm.
Normally an Ice fishing deal here.

Caught many a Crappie on live crickets while Bluegill fishing. When that floater pops up instead of down.....ol Speck done took the bait

I'll second the crickets! When we lived in Baton Rouge I was in the bayou 2-3 days a week, I miss it, and I picked up crickets at the bait shop 3x more often than shiners.

They bite about anything presented right . Caught them on Catalpa Worms . Here is one on a bare unpainted jighead .

Couple of summers ago during a mayfly hatch i watched a crappie take one off the surface in 30' of water. Pretty neat.
