Title: WAXIES? MUMMIFIED OR LIVE?
Post by: Cali009 on Dec 04, 2018, 01:46 PM: I WOULD SOME INPUT ON THIS SUBJECT.

I USED THE MUMMIFIED ONES LAST SEASON. BUT I WOULD EVERYONE'S INPUT ON THIS SUBJECT.

IS IT WORTH SEARCHING OUT FOR LIVE WAXIES OVER THE MUMMY STYLE WE CAN PURCHASE A THE LOCAL FISHING STORE?

I have no experience with the preserved one. If you can’t have live ones shipped, then go check out local pet stores. ones that deal with reptiles should have waxworms and mealworms.

Thank you for the idea of a reptile store. I am clearly not in the mind set to even think like that to caught up in getting all my gear ready. before safe ice arrives in my area

Check out Knutsons bait. They have a number formUS and Canada so I am guessing that you can have them shipped there. The quality of bait is outstanding! The US shipping costs more than the price of the bait, but they get them to you alive!

Never had luck with dead waxes.

The business who sells the bait will know about shipping info.

Or

Hit the pet store, price is same if not cheaper.
