Shiner or fatheads would make a better bait for LMB but you never know, I have caught lots lo LMB on grasshoppers many times . Cut BG also work on them. Good luck. I use this gold Aberdeen hooks a lot , no swivel, very small split shot for weight, smallest cork and usually catch them
Hook live bait through lips
