Don't factor in what they might turn into if you don't take care of them.

Which of these three do you prefer for Perch?

Which of these three do you prefer for Walleye? (If at all)

minnows....

I use spike for most panfish, they work quite well. Never tried for eyes but lost one at the hole last year on spikes

My personal preference for panfish/perch are mousees.

For perch I go with minnows. I do well with spikes also.

Minnows and Perch eyes for perch, and mousies,wax worms, and spikes for pan fish in that order.

I like minnows for both walleye and perch. Mousies for perch and especially crappie

Looper · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 12:46 PM »

I get the preference of minnows, but where I live it's not always practical. I like the flexibility of ordering one of the three and getting them in the mail!

minnows work best but waxies and mousies are good also.

BUCKSKI · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 12:55 PM »

I would say that there is no one bait most of us use, when one goes cold I switch if the color has been good.

If you run multiple baits on a treble or sigle hook spikes are a good bait that stay on after multiple hits.

Waxies are callis and gills favorite.

But minnows have caught more perch than grubs combined.

Another good perch bait is oak leaf grubs if you can find them in a store or catch em.

Mousees for perch. Minnows for walleyes.
Waxies are too soft.

Mousies.... When I can find them!

Mealworms work great 4 all panfish.

bunnyasassyn · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 02:09 PM »

i like waxies for pan fish they just suck cuz you usually only get one fish out of em. a lot of times when jiggin a rapala ill put a waxie on one point of the treble and spikes on the other 2 this has worked good for perch, bass and wallys

prchslyr · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 04:51 PM »

When I'm in prchsly'ng mode I jig with a hali with a 2nd longer dropper tied on. I put mousies on both hooks, then a minnow on top of the mousie that's on the hali hook. If my minnow gets stripped my Hali isn't sitting there baitless. The mousie is definitely my panfish bait of choice.

sodussut · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 08:00 PM »

mousies but minnows are preferred.Once in awhile the mousie outperforms the minnow so I always carry both.

fishincrazy · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 08:03 PM »

Wax worms for pan fish. Wax worms are the only grub I buy for ice fishing. I use minnows on my tip-ups. I have had the best luck with wax worms. I've never had a problem with wax worms being to soft.

dav · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 08:05 PM »

Never liked mousies, but no one had spikes today @ two different shops so I had to settle for the mousies buuuut must say did very well with them

beerbellybob106 · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 08:07 PM »

for any type of panfish i prefer mousies but if there not available then i resort to spikes

kchamp · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 10:03 PM »

where do you hook the mousse so it doesn`t fall apart

stripernut · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 11:09 PM »

When hooking Mousies I just catch them throught the "head" with a sharp hook and either a micro barb or no barb. Most of the time I get many fish per mousie.

ICE4ME75 · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 19, 2009, 05:37 AM »

mousies for me but I'll mix in spikes to change up the presentation.

Lookin Up · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 19, 2009, 06:05 AM »

I use spikes mostly because they are easy to find and after the first fish I put an eye on one of my poles.

i usually either thread 1or 2 of them on the hook or i just hook them through the body most of the time mine usually end up frozen within the first hour of fishing which makes them easy to put on the hook and i dont think the fish care that they were frozen
