If cost is not a factor, I would go for it.

If you consider the ratio of a bass needing to eat 10 lbs. of fish to gain one pound of weight, you almost want to question the value of fatheads.

If you've got bass in there already, then most likely 90%+ of the fatheads will get eaten.

If there's no bass in there now, the fatheads may pull of a spawn next spring & summer to create a nice forage base to really amp up bass growth when bass are introduced.

Larger bluegill will also eat fatheads.
