Has anyone tried live Meal Worms or Waxworms for bait I came across them when shopping for bird seed.
I used used other bird food for but never tried these.

I have tried the dried meal-worms sold as bird food. Basically they are very difficult to hook, they just break, just dried hollow skin cases really and very fragile but you might do better with a very small fine wire hook than I did. They also float so no good as ground bait unless you mix them in with something maybe or ground them up but I determined they were pretty useless in the end. I caught nothing not even a bite, I managed to anchor a few on the bottom pop up like. I doubt they have much smell and no wriggle factor so better baits available. However, it was just one experiment so give them a go if you want, you may work out how to use them better than I did.
