    Got it thanks!! I thought it looked a little different and it’s been a lot of years since I used them for chasing pannies.

    One of the best panfish baits. Unfortunately the liberal politicians/judge in WI made it illegal to dredge a lot of the rivers where they get the Mayfly Larvae from. When you can find them, they are expensive.

    i called all the bait shops in the area today. nobody had wigglers. 2 years ago was the last time some of the shops had them. i do have some plastic wigglers. they just don’t have the action of the real thing. caught a couple perch on the plastics today.
