I’m pretty green when it comes to fishing with live bait….store here has “bass minnows” and “crappie minnows”. Is there a difference in the two aside from size (and price).

Usually sorted by size. Bass minners are bigger

Ruffles”crappie minnows “ stay on the hook and live longer. I only buy shiners if that’s all they got when crappie fishing

Crappie and bass will both eat shiners. Shad are gonna be too big for crappie to eat and usually hard to find

Ruffles”crappie minnows “ stay on the hook and live longer. I only buy shiners if that’s all they got when crappie fishing I’ve heard of tuffies and fatheads but I never heard of ruffles. I’m down in central AL though so I’m sure there’s plenty of different bait fish I don’t know about up north.

Theys tuffys an shiners most places..theys some other kinds but they kinda far and few between..i aint ever heard anybody call somethin from a store bass or crappie..which is purty weird for me…now commonly..your typical bass minner..is your threadfin shad..2-6in..and them gets happened upon or chased down with a cast net..but they are crappie minners too..k in n my experience…bass and crappie either one..eat whatever aint nailed down and fits in their mouth..an even some stuff that aint..but more times than not..it is relative to size and how big the void in their belly is

In Florida bass minnows are gold in color and 6-12” long. And cost about a buck a piece 30 years ago when I bass fished Brad they are $25 a dozen now for wild shiners. Crazy

Tuffies and fathead is the same minnow.

About 5 years ago our tuffies starting coming half orange and half regular. I have seen times crappie wouldn’t touch a shiner but hit a tuffy every time. Another bad thing about shiner you can’t bounce them off bridge pile ons etc.

Another bad thing about shiner you can’t bounce them off bridge pile ons etc. If I cant get tuffies I dont go. Shiners just not tough enough especially in warm water. I can keep them alive in my bucket just fine but they dont make it long once on the hook.

I know a guy who went to buy bass shiner’s in the 90s around oakachobee and no one had any. He found out about a pond full but the guy wouldn’t let them catch any for bait. 30 minutes later he wrote a check for the entire property the pond was on. Talking about some expensive shiners.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

You YOUNG Grasshoppas'.....put out a couple minner traps in a Branch and catch Some "Horned Head" Minners from 2" to 6" and You've got th' entire Minner World in YO BUCKET!! And they are TUFFFF!!!! Dang sure is. Branch minners will stay alive on a set pile all night in the river. But that don’t happen often cause they usually get bit. Which that being said, I’ve caught 40lb blue cats on jigs off of crappie minnows. Now it may have had a 7” crappie on it and that catfish ate the crappie. But it’s happens a couple times
A friend, the Bible and a banker will get you though about anything.
