Great bait-WHAT THE FISHI’ve been using this bait for a few years now and i’m Really happy with this product. In Alberta canada we can’t use live minnows (provincial Regs) so my friend who now uses this product due entirely to my influence used to use frozen bait and if the walleye didn’t slam the frozen offering he’d end up with a strike and a miss and no minnow. Magic bait is tough and it gets the hook in their face. It’s up to you to let the target fish take the offering. -NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS- MAGIC bait has to step up it’s quality control. That said they have medium labeled minnows that struggle to reach a 2 inch minimum (per magic definition of medium 2 - 3 inch long) and the same applies to the large size. I realize they, (magic bait) probably aren’t a really large group so the supervisor whoever you are, stand in front of a mirror and give yourself a slap. I also use their preserved worms and meal worms. Good stuff.

Good for right useI used these on a fly-in in Canada where you couldn’t bring live bait and we caught hundreds of walleye. Worked way better than plastics.

excellent baitused these on lake of the woods. Caught many walleye and jumbo crappies. I'll never buy live minnows again in Canada, they are so expensive there an these work just as well if not better!

use in a proper applicationif used properly these are as good as gold. i've used these for nearly a decade tipping my jigs when fishing for sauger in the Ohio River and tributaries. of course there is nothing like a live fathead or creek chub, but these increase my bites by a good bit compared to a plain jig head and twister.
sure beats carring a minnow bucket up and down the rip-rap at dam tailraces. and better than reaching down in that fridged cold water in said minnow bucket on a cold winters day.

OKAs noted by others, these preserved minnows are pretty stiff. Probably best used on a spinner or jig. I've caught fish on them trolling and jigging. Definitely not as good as fresh minnows or worms, but better than nothing. Good for when you run out of bait.

Panfish favoriteI used these with a bobber about 2 foot down and the panfish went wild. Worked great.

Excellent when properly usedI can't believe all of the complaints...but I can understand them...misuse...using them for catfishing?NO WAY!...
This is like buying a 1" paint brush, attempting to use it to paint a barn and then complaining that it didn't work very well.
Run a shad needle through these, toss them out under a bobber during the white bass spring run in an Iowa river and you will catch fish like carazy.
These are a cross between live and fake bait...better than fake..but not as good as live...but way more convenient than live.
Best application is running water where you would normally us minnows under a bobber. Extremely durable and you'll catch many fish before you'll need a new one.

just dead baitwhat can i say? everybody buys something stupid sometimes and for me this was it. thought they might work for when you cant get shiners. nope.
So when resealing them to preserve them do they need to go into the refrigerator or can i leave them out, or does it make a difference?
Asked by: IreneS
According to the manufacturer, the most important thing with preserved baits is that you seal it back up so they don’t dry out. You should not need to refrigerate them. Also do not keep in the direct sun. They should last up to a year.
