Thread: Wax worms

I luv fishing with the waxies. We used them extensively in Ohio especially when Ice fishing. Haven’t found any down here though. Think this year I’m gonna buy a thousand and give it a shot for the crappie. If nothin else I know the crackers and gills will kill em

I have used a waxworm soft plastic imitator and just put some "Slab Sauce" on it.

I fought those things the whole time I was a beekeeper. Hated them. I didn't know I was fighting fish bait.

I wonder how you keep them from pupating if you can't store them in the fridge? I don't know how I'd store them at 60 degrees

I grew up ice fishing, that's what we tipped our jigs with; then in the summer I would take them to Ms and fish some farm ponds ya had to hide to bait the hook!
