GSH, nice torpedo shaped body, easy for predators to swallow. Harder for them to catch as they can fly! It is the bait of choice for many (see post today about CC wanting to bite on a live shiner over chicken livers) They also reproduce in small ponds well. They tend to thin the herd on any other competing fish. They also like to take pellets at feeding time which can be a downside.
I sourced mine from the local bait man, got a full bag when his normal bait shipment came in. I also had luxury of putting them in when there were no predators so that I could stock smaller numbers and wait a couple of years for reproduction to kick in.
Check a bait shop? Must be an online place too?
