Morman Crickets for Cats - fast_randy - 04-30-2020 I caught a bunch of Morman Crickets last fall because I had heard they make good catfish bait. Well I tried them live for trout on the Snake, but that didn't work out. So I forgot about them in my downstairs fridge. But I still want to try them for bait. Had anyone have any experience with them? I will thread some 20lb. braid tied to a hook and slide the cricket to the hook. RE: Morman Crickets for Cats - meancuznalfy - 04-30-2020 Haven't ever used those, but I've used grasshoppers and they make great bait. I'd think those would work just as well. RE: Morman Crickets for Cats - fast_randy - 05-01-2020 I tried them live in the Snake R. last fall. But they aren't like grasshoppers. They don't move when they are cold. I never got a bite. RE: Morman Crickets for Cats - meancuznalfy - 05-01-2020 You might be able to squeeze them a little and get some scent out of them and they'll work great for cats. Can try them on one rod and a your preferred bait on another one to see how they're going to work.
