Title: Bait
Post by: hookedlip on Dec 28, 2020, 10:36 PM

Thought I’d get some input from the group regarding favorite bait(s) and good spots to buy bait locally here in Spokane. I mostly use wax worms for pan fish and we used smelt for pike back in the day. Hoping to do some pike fishing with tip ups soon! I have been ordering wax worms from Amazon, not sure if there is somewhere in town that has a good wax worms supply. We always bought smelt in the freezer section of our grocery store growing up, not sure if they have them in stores here??

Find an Asian market they will usually have "bait" fish, squid and shrimp... sorry can't help with worms

I’ve found waxies at NW Seed & Pet before. If I remember correctly, they were a bit pricey. I’ve ordered online the last few years.
