What are you currently feeding it? Bloodworm as stated above to fatten it up and try to do a routine when feeding. Say feed at the same spot or Me personally i throw bloodworm/pellet into the output current of filter and fish realize food comes from current. offer pellet into the current and they should hit it, natural reaction. Starve or feed less blood worm and offer pellet, Pbass are very aggressive feeders so it shouldnt take you long. Ive train my Pbass this way and get results within a week or longer depending on individual fish. If you get scare of death just feed it more bloodworms. On a side note I love watching pbass smash Floating pellets vs siniking, "Wet n Wild"

Dropping them into the filter is an interesting concept ... never heard of that. What floating pellets do you feed?

Mix bloodworm with crushed massivore, pour in together and within a week they will be eating pellets! Works for me everytime....
Except for a 9" wc Kelberi lol

Heres my question on this, do you drop the blood worms in as a cube, or do you melt them in warm water, then pour them in? I drop them in as cubes, my 2 eat whatever falls off, then just eat the entire cube whole. Im thinking about trying the mix together method to see how it works. I read somewhere that people have dethawed the blood worms, mixed the pellets in, then re-froze them. Opinions??

I use hakiri pallets and i usually have succes by throwing the pallets 1 by1 realy hard in the water so they splash instinct wil make them atack (but make sure you dont feed them fore a few days)

I just throw the pellets really hard to the water and they instinctively attack

I would do blackworms or trout worms instead of feeder fish. They’ll hit a point where they get too large for blackworms and will eventually take pellets for more substance. But you gotta stop the live feeding.
