    I called themOversized waxworms, but they are from Chile. Might cost more but have tougher skin, an BGS. Can't resist them. I have average up to 5 Gills on 1butterworm. Also heard other panfish including crappie luv them also

    My vote is for leaf/trout worms. Caught a dozen gills yesterday on them (about the only thing biting unfortunately).

    The pupa from my mealworm farm, the problem is they love them too much because 95% of them caught with the pupa are gut hooked.

    Glad you like them. I have been using them for years. They hold up better than wa worms and I seem to catch much larger gills on them.

    Plus they live much longer in the fridge than the wa worms. (Guess with button doesn't work on this keyboard - lol)
