I have been in a lot of water without feeding and don't recall being nipped. Haven't been nipped by a Northern Pike either. Life is Good on Bremer Pond Bremer Pond Weather

I would use them if RES were not an option. Very correct. I have caught PS/BG hybrids in central Wisconsin where the climate is too cold for RES. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
