Remember: panfish are your friends. And they're the biggest bait-stealing little buggers in the North American waterways. They've elevated stealth hook-cleaning to an art form. I've found that, if you want a skilletful for dinner, a No. 8 snelled Eagle Claw and a red wiggler tend to get their attention. (Berkeley Power Baits ain't all they're cracked up to be, IMHO.)

Man I love ultralight fishing for panfish. Esp what we call bull brim....giant guys with an attitude. They make for some great eating.

If you make the powerbait into BB sized balls and dry them in the sun, they can be effective with bluegill, but you have to be able to see the bait to know when to set the hook.

A #10 hook will get their children, ensuring their rage and subsequent defeat. Mealworms, full metal jacket.
