[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 195793, member: 33994"] If doing catch and release, i would recommend against wild tomato hornworms, as they could poison the bass with the toxins they sequester from nightshades, tomatine and solanine are known to kill fish. The commercially bred hornworms are basically fed a mixture of yeast and milk powder and are safe. Personally, I would hook one in the center, weightless, with a drop-shot hook. Use it like an organic senko wacky-rigged.. Pull up smoothly without any jerky motion, then put slack and let the worm sink slowly. should work if the bass are hungry but lazy. They would definitely attract a catfish as they are very smelly even when not fed tomato leaves. [/QUOTE]
