Quick take

A 500-count tub of live wax worms stored in pine shavings for year-round use as panfish bait or ice-fishing forage.

These live wax worms are a common bait for ice fishing, with soft bodies that hook easily for panfish such as bluegill, crappie and sunfish. Each order holds 500 larvae in two tubs packed in dry pine shavings. They can also be fed to pet reptiles, frogs and fish as supplemental food, and the tubs should be kept cool and dry with the lids off.
