Thread: Minnows: Size Preference and where you buying them at, and how you hooking them?

I use #8's everywhere all the time if I can get them. That is considered a medium at Lakeway in Grenada, but a Large most other places. I use the Large at Grenada sometimes and they work!!!! Those are considered a #12 at the minnow farms. The minnow farms do not grade a #10.

#6-Considered a medium most places is a small at Grenada. 1000 Minnows weigh 6lbs. A pound is 13.89 dozen.

#8- Considered a large most places is a medium at Grenada. 1000 minnows weigh 8lbs. A pound is 10.42 dozen

#12- Considered a Trot Line (Catfish) minnow most places is a Large at Grenada. 1000 minnows weigh 12lbs. A pound is 6.94 dozen

Most bait shops buy mixed graded minnows because they cost less. That's why you buy medium minnows most places and they are smaaaaaall. The minnow farms don't grade them as closely so they sell them for less.

Jigflinger is a true expert on minnows and can give much better info than me however. He's hauled billions of em.
