Mealworms for bluegill/redear?

Anyone ever use mealworms for bluegill and redear? Successful or not?
Thanks.

Great bait! Maggots are #1, but meal worms are #2 on my list.

Bag worms are another great bait. Grab a few off of a cedar tree and hang on!

They work, also great for catfish. I don't use live bait for gills anymore, but did for years, and would take a bee moth over a meal worm any day.

Are you using just one meal worm/maggot/other worm on a really small hook? Are putting several on the hook? I have seen the Gulp Alive maggots/meal worms. Would these be a good substitute?

Mealworms and waxworms - one per hook

Maggots - one or two per hook

IMO, they're not "better than live bait" like they advertise, but they are good.
