I would ask the bait shop staff about them. Or just call around to your local bait shops. Generally one would ask about "Eurolarvae", spikes, maggots all the same animal, and you can even dye your own, if all you can get are the natural color. Here in Minnesota, I can get them from a number of hardware stores, right on the way to the lake. "Ace is da place..." The Ganders around here don't have all that good a reputation in the first place, and my nearest one is a good 25 miles of city traffic away anyhow; so I very seldom shop there.

Ask around, it is good to know a few local bait shops anyway. They tend to be pretty good about general advice to regulars.
