I've been using Optimal for several years now, and a major factor is that it's delivered right to my door.

I've used Optimal Hand Throw for all that time, and it's great. Whatever 1" pellets may not get eaten by the larger fish get picked apart and eaten by bluegill.

I feed Optimal Bluegill, Optimal Bass, and Optimal Hand Throw. I also got a bag of Optimal Starter but haven't started using it yet.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
