i think live bait is best. i live in Canada and mostly fish gravel pits for bass , pike and perch. mostly i catch small minnnows and bluegills sometimes crawfish or frogs for big bass and pike, in a cast net instead of buying them from a baitshop. and i've fished in the gulf of mexico with live bait small bait fish and shrimp for snook and tarpon , basically i always use what the fish has to eat in its natural habitat, but ofcourse plastics and lures can imitate them if u cant get real live bait.
