Since we are dicussing pros and cons , use or going Minnowless. What size minnow is the best? I hear that those tiny ones are best. Next man says Bass minnows and next pink minnows.

I'm sure there will be a wide spead bunch of opinions. There is a fellow that his family grows Goldfish. He uses Goldfish and hand picks his one at a time out of a huge concrete tough at the farm. But he is not the only one I know that fishes with them.
