I use waxies never caught a thing on mealies... But I have found that the gulp waxies and red gulp red worms produce better than actual worms and waxies. But there still will be that one day they won't hit anything but real bait.

I looked on their website and 500 are $14 before shipping. Petco has them listed for $16 and they are local.

Did you order spikes and not waxworms?

  Being that I live out here in the Uartic Basin and all I can get is Mealworms..... I use Mealworms either on a Gitzit or Glow Rocker jig.  Happy to say I've caught 100's of fish on em!! The best bait you can use for perch is a perch eye and it's tough. Most times you can catch over 10 perch on one eye and they will hit a perch eye over anything else you drop to them. I'm sure a lot of you already knew that but there are those who don't so thought I'd mention it.

Waxworms for us...

I always take both, that way if 1 or the other isn't getting any bites... never hurts to have the other on hand.

Wax worms seem to work better. Meal worms don't seem to produce for me. Wax worms need to be kept in your pocket or they will freeze fairly easily.

We went out and picked up some waxworms today. Heading to mantua tomorrow. Hoping to get into some gills.

Wax worms over mealworms but I prefer spikes over either one... Plus spikes stay on the hook much better.

Wax worms work great for me

Waxworms are best for me.   I have caught lots of fish on mealworms.
