I agree

I've used fry sunfish for muskie and pike bait in warm weather. i've had some attacks and have retrieved Scaled and tooth scared bait, no hook ups. We used to cut the points off of the dorsal fin too for the injured bait fish effect. It could work for ice fishing but you wanna be rigged up for big toothy fish.

tentwiststhick:
I don't like those super worms. my experience with them is trout fishing and they were a disappointment. I found that they don't hold up in cold water and have a tendency to have their back ends bitten off or break off due to hook penetration. I'd stick with waxies and the large size meal worm or the smaller ones. All of them work great.

Evil Tom:
Sunnys are baitfish epically down south.Theyre like candy to big blu and flatheaf catfish.Used on passaic river for pike as well.

darkeyez:
LM bass seem to like them also, at least in our local slate quarries.
