Pinima wild Caught

Oddly enough I’ve never seen grown spider kels on the forum lol out of all the bass on here.

Thanks K krichardson They absolutely are haha. Idk why they’re not more popular in the hobby everyone seems to be phasing towards kelberi and orinos maybe because the growth rates and max sizes are more manageable?

That certainly factors in with me but kelberi have always been my favorites.I did have a good looking pinima that I got from Rapps years ago.

I’ve got some intermedia from him. Still sucks he’s gone, huge hit to the excitement you get from checking out weekly lists

Mostly bio gold and carnisticks with occasional massivore and tilapia in vitachem

It’s basically stepping stones. Bloodworms for 1-3” fish then to krill/pellets by soaking in bloodworms then onto sticks that resemble krill if that’s what they take for example hikari carnisticks

I have a dwarf pike, eats shrimp, chunks of tilapia, hikari sinking carnivore pellets, baby fish, and nightcrawlers, but wont eat the cobalt micro predator pellets im trying to get him on. So far its been 2 weeks since i last fed him, still just nouths it and spits it out, some fish just don't eat what you want them to.

I’ve always used hikari I think the garlic in it helps entice fish to eat idk.
