My wife is a successful pond fisherperson and uses no other bait but small live shrimp. On many occasions she's approached by other fishermen at the ponds and asked to sell them some of her bait.
Her main catch is Gourami, up to 2kg but got some nice Pacu once. she's limited because she refuses to use a rod with a reel on it, preferring the traditional "line fixed to the rod tip" method and often gets broken off by larger fish. Only yesterday one broke her rod and she came home cursing. Can't tell her though.

I taught mine how to use a rod and reel and now she likes catching Plachon also, but she still puts a line in the water tied around a bottle or can and catches the Bunins while she is throwing a lure.
Great to watch her do this.
