Interesting, I use the forage minnows during ice fishing... do you cast them in open water or just vertically jig?
It would be fascinating to use a forage minnow as a drop shot weight, and tying a small octopus hook with a piece of crawler on it maybe 18 to 24" above the forage minnow? Could be deadly type of rig to fish the perch who are laying right on bottom as well as the big boys who sometimes suspend 2 feet above bottom. You might end up with a few double headers using that method!
