My local bait shop carries 3 different colors of beaver tail (gristle).

I've gone pretty much to beaver tail jigging walleyes through the ice. I'm thinking one tail would last me for years and I fish a lot. A LOT!
I can't comment about panfish but I have to believe it would be as good or better than wax worms.

I have been cutting1 to 2 inch long triangles very thin for pan fish bigger for walleye and pike. Amazing action. Got a couple trout last weekend on it nice thing is you can cut larger pieces to fit any jig or spoon. Try it moosetrot you will like it.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I soak cut pieces in salmon oil for kokanee. It is just about the same color as white corn.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I use it for winter walleyes and panfish almost exclusively now . Stays on the jig very well.
