I use a slip bobber with a chartruese genz worm as I do for all my panfish fishing. I tip it with a wax worm, night crawler, a twister tail and sometimes when available a minnow.
Last summer me and a buddy were at this lake that we had heard rumors that there were croppies in it, but have never caught any within the two years we've fished it. Man did that change! We got into a rare school of them and caught over 50! I had caught over 100 fish that day including croppie, blugills and perch. We had a white twister tail on the genz worm with some berkley scent on it. That will be my go to lure for croppie anytime!
Last week when I was fishing, the blugills were biting on wax worms, night crawlers, and minnows. I had got my free GULP! nightcrawlers in the mail awhile ago and thought I would test out there "Works better than live bait" claim. I cut a small enough piece so it would fit on the hook and put it on the genze worm and threw it out....I never got a bite. I switch back to my nightcrawlers and waxworms and started catching them again. So much for the "Works better than live bait" claim. In the end live bait will always catch more fish than artificials.
