I would imagine that worms would work for rainbows too. I doubt you would have much success with Browns/Salmon. Also, you need to keep in mind that for those fish in the tank, they are conditioned to respond to those worms. It would be similar to the fish at Beans (which go crazy for pellets)...they know when/what they are being fed. Also, for fish in Cabelas, a worm is a lot easier meal than a shiner.

No not hard to find worms at all. Walmart, bait shops, small store near the pond. I use Bait Pucks to keep them in while I'm on the ice....
well since usin old chew can's would be cheaper ill probably just use that, thanks tho
here's another question....are worms still easy to find at bait shops?, and if you do, how do u keep them from freezin on the ice?...keep them out of the plastic container in your pocket?
pop a few between your cheek and gum.................
I just use a small splitshot about a foot or so up and drop the worm right below the ice about a foot. I double hook (#8) the worm; once thru the head and again an inch down; let the rest hang. Works for me. Good luck tomorrow.
