Ya, your R KIDDING....RIGHT!!!!!!.....It gives me the willies just thinking about them. I can imagine if you do find some and one gets loose in your house. Then you got a real mess.
But if you really want some. Go to some rank or nasty eating place. They probably have some crawling around.....
Just a wild guess, but try in the meat dept of your local Wally World---
cockaroach?
Being as they are a pest & a health hazard ... I doubt you can order them by mail. And they aren't all that good for fishing, either ... too soft, and too many legs for small gills to grab ahold of :D (I used to catch them from around the underground water meter, in front of my Grandparents house) Trust me ... they're not worth the effort.Originally Posted by CrappieHead
Stick with the Grubco "critters" selection ... or buy some plastic versions of them (if you can find them). .......... luck2ya .... cp
Most lumber piles will have quite a few underneath them...but, wow, way too much goo from these nasty things!!
Whatever will work for ya though...good luck using them and let us know!
Years ago, many bait shops carried roaches. They were not the cockroach you normally think of. They were a medium size between the size of a big black cockroach and the smaller german roach. They were greatbream bait but I find that a cricket is hard to beat and easier to deal with.

They just an insect that we despise. Look in a cricket container at the local bait shop. NASTY. Here is a pic of a trap that I used for years to catch the bugs. Build ur own trap and get bait free...........Just gotta understand where, what and why about the cockroaches. I ain't died yet from handling them...ha
You can't buy this trap anywhere, but you can make one. It is a collectors item now...
