I agree, they were wigglers. Enjoy your fishing!

They were wigglers. My buddy is the one who does the ordering. Also all the fresh spikes and waxies arrived today, for anyone who needs them.

Yes they are wigglers. I do the live bait ordering for the G.M. in Flint. We will no longer be ordering wigglers anymore. They are too hard to keep alive. I don't have time to change the water out everyday and don't have the right container to put them in. Sorry guys. Get them while they last.

Sorry to here that you can't keep Wigglers. We need some close to Flint. I was there yesterday and seen them and said to myself WOW! Do you know how far we have to go here in Flint to get wigglers if we need them? I know they are hard to keep alive so I understand the reason why you can't keep them. O well.

I know that Franks in Linwood has them and you can buy them in bulk. We order our live bait from Knutsons Recreational Sales near Wamplers Lake. I know they're hard to find, but just need to figure out some sort of container to put them in that will keep them alive and fresh. I already have a hard time trying to keep the wax worms and spikes from freezing. If you guys have any suggestions, I'm willing to give it a try.

Bait puck from Strikemaster,, picked up a couple this year. Nice little piece of equipment, basically a one handed open and close, heavy, won't blow away. Only downside is,, no air holes. Guess you could drill a few if you wanted.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about my personal bait. I was refering to the refrigerators were I work. The thermostat is set too low and I can't ajust it any warmer. The frigs. stay too cold for most of the bait that we sell and I have to put them into a cooler to keep them warm. It seems to work o.k. for now. I'm trying to get in touch with the manufacture of the frig. to send me a new thermostat. As far as Strike Masters bait pucks, I have 3 of them and looking to get 1 more. I love them. They do work great and I don't have too much of a problem with them freezing, except in cold weather (only when I don't have them in my pocket). Like last Sat. on Lake Fenton, steady wind all day and freezing temps. Other than that, they are awsome.

Eddie:
I don't have any info. on keeping the wigglers alive. I've been told you have to change the water (not city water) daily. Wonder if the place you are getting them from can help out. Looks like it would be in there best interest to help dealers out with that. Maybe Franks will help, not like you are in there area and will take a lot of business from them. Hope you can find out how to keep them. After the word get out I think you will have a lot of costumers. It might bring in some new costumers also. I know a lot of times my friends and I wish there was a place close to Flint that we could get them. Good luck and keep us posted. I'll pass the word out that you have wigglers. PS the spikes and wax worms I got there Tues. was fresh and caught a lot of fish yesterday, just not to many big ones.
