If I fish with tube jigs , curly tails or paddle bugs I just put enough on to cover the hook and works fine . I think the piece of minnow on a hook leaves a good scent trail that the fish pick up on .
Sorry vtpike..that is a bad analogy....all the things you quoted dont work...a half minnow doesBut....I still always start off with a full minnow
IceJunky, I am a tip-up fisherman for the most part, I have fished bait live and dead and I do very well on my lakes with live bait. Dead bait whole or half has never worked for me. If you are jigging it is a completely different story. I apologize for my ignorance in not understanding that everyone does not fish like me.I will defend my analogy though.....I thought I was being quite clever.....and sarcastic for those of you that didn't catch on.
