Leeches

[glenn57]

anyone been buying leeches????? thread on IDO has a conversation going. one guy paid 10 bucks for a tub of jumbo's. guess there really spendy this year and getting hard to find.   my kid works at the liquor store gas station on weekendsand said they were 7.99 for big leeches and went down i price for the smaller ones.

and i guess canada is way worse.........even with crawlers. i've been a huge leech guy for panfish for years, usually get the panny leeches.....but since i heard there spendy and hard to get been using wax worms and gulp and have done just fine so far!!!!

I know a few weeks ago Prince bait had true jumbos and though I don’t remember the exact cost, I didn’t think they were that expensive. 

I swear by gulp worms but have never tried the leeches.

I usually buy a 1/4# of large but haven't found 'em in that quantity, yet. They're $6/dozen now & that's about what they normally are. A 1/4# will usually get the price down to < $5/doz. No Jumbos where I've gotten mine but heard they're $8/doz in DR & I think that's higher than normal.

I havnt bought leeches in yrs, the primary reason is all the dam sheepshead in the lake. I should try the small ones tho fer the suspended fish I read trolling around the lake. Usually the shallower active sunnies pound a small beetle spin.

      You got me to thinking about throwing out my leech trap to save a few bucks. But then I started wondering what I would pay for a bloody beef liver or something similar. It would be more convenient to just go to the bait shop.
