A cricket for bream=hardtail for amberjack=longline dead bait for swordfish=chicken livers for catfish=peanuts for skwerls=clover/pea/ryegrass/chicory/sugar beet patch for deer=corn feeder for deer=donut pile for black bear=cheese on a mousetrap
All bait, all the same. Food is food, regardless. You may believe that they are different, but you need to recalibrate if you do.
