Blackfootbaits 53 Report post Posted June 17, 2016 About the only thing that will eat a stickleback is a brookie. Maybe it is because they will kill the young brook trout. Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thefishleclair 175 Report post Posted June 17, 2016 If I know I got some I will ise em for walleye. They eat them up no problems. Quote Grumpas' Baits Check it out on FB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbear 24 Report post Posted June 20, 2016 I had a bunch in my minnows I bought this weekend. I caught at least 3-4 small pickerel on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northoman 29 Report post Posted June 20, 2016 Agreed, they are great for brookies. We use them on stocked lakes ice fishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted June 20, 2016 I've caught lots of walleye that were gorged on Sticklebacks off Pine Point through the ice. Not sure if you really want to use them for bait just anywhere. AB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
