Hello all, first post in a long time. Little children consume my world. Finally got a feeder. I am simply feeding bluegill to help try to grow big bass. Feeding Purina GFC now. I have read all the good things about optimal. Is it worth the extra cost if my goal is big bass and not big bluegill? Thanks!
In addition to some of the excellent points already made here, I'd add that Optimal claims that it is more efficiently digested by the BG than competing brands. That means less fish waste in the water, which means less risk of fertility-driven algae/oxygen issues.
Optimal really is more expensive, of course. You may wish to consider joining in some of the periodic group buys of a whole or half pallet at a reduced rate of $36-38 a bag, rather than $50.
