    Agreed. Especially handy when you get on a hot bed and don't have to re-bait every time you catch a fish. Also, find I have fewer missed fish when using worms. I suspect the fish takes the hook better because the worm is harder to pull of off the hook?

    I haven't used the shrimp yet, cause I always eat them myself.

    But I have just started an European worm farm. I'll use the worms mostly.

    I have gotten tons of nibbles on bacon, but i think my pieces are too large. I'll try bacon pieces again next summer.

    I think it would get expensive to go to Europe every time you needed some fish bait.

    I would not hesitate to use any of my handcrafted teardrops tipped with a wax worm. That is my #1 go to bait fished beneath a slip float. My choice of color depends on the weather and the water clarity.

    Yes shipahoy41's teardrop are very effective,especially tipped with a wax worm or maggot. Also they help put smiles on the grand kids faces.
