I have seen several mail order live bait companies in ads. Anybody tried them before? Are you pleased?
I like to fish with mealworms and its sometimes hard to find them. Seems like it would be easier to order them so I wouldn't have to look around for them.

Thanks Pappy. I'll contact them soon so I can go load up on some big bluegill.
Just click on Grubco at the top of the page. They give excellent service.
I ordered a lot of stuff from them and it shows up quick and alive. Have fun catchin' them slabs.
i usaly just buy my bait from my friend who runs the local bait shop acrost from my trailor but i may start ordering me 500 or so nightcrawlers for when i fish for bluegill during the hot part of the day then bust out my bass stuff after 5 and start fishing for them Tho a friends has used the one that crappiepappy said and he liked them
We buy mealworms and waxies from Grubco several times a year. Go to their website and take a look at their sampler, too. The super mealies are HUGE (and a little scary). - Roberta
Vados is good, too.

I also had good results last spring ordering small leeches from Vados. I was going to post this earlier, but noticed that you were all having good results with Grubco. This old fella thinks when it's working, not much use in fixing.;)
I use wax worms a lot and the local shop has the best I've ever seen. I won't even consider ordering online. I want to keep her in business. :D Support your local shop when you can. Mike
I always order our crickets from Reptilefood.com.
They are 10 dollars for a thousand plus S&H.
We pour them in a half plastic drum and feed them cut up potates. If you keep them in the shade they will stay alive for a weeks fishing trip.
CP is right, you can't go wrong with Grubco...They're usually at my door the next day. They have mealworms (bait-size and large), wax worms, spikes, crickets and more. For more information about Grubco, go to the Articles/Tips page for the Grubco article or click on the Grubco link on top. Be sure to print out the information from the article or website on how to keep your baits healthy and live much longer.
Are You From Ill.? If So What Town And What Bait Shop You Usin ?
I just wish Grubco would take American Express
Hi Frank, I'm from the IL. Quad Cities. The bait shop I use is Carbon Cliff bait .(formerly known as Pankey's). Both brothers are now gone or retired. Margaret runs a nice well furnished shop. During the warm season she is there from 5:00 am till 7.00 pm. . This is what I call a sleeper shop. It just looks like a normal shop, but they supply lots of other bait shops on a wholesale level. She gets wax worms in by the pallet load. They are the white, large ones. I use wax worms a lot and she thinks it is neat that I always return the plastic tubs.:D
Hope you are hammereing the bull gills and red ear down there. I'd like to be down there for a winter, but on a fixed income and didn't spend enough time fixing it. :rolleyes:
I just think it is important to support our local shops when you can. It would be so sad to see all our suppliers be big box types. Mike
I bought the Grubco sampler about a month ago. I never got around to using them, checked them out yesterday and i had a bunch of beetles and moths. LOL
I have also used Grubco and was well pleased. I ordered one thousand crickets and recived my order in two days and not a single dead cricket in the order. Jimmy S.
