Uncle Josh preserved minnows

Has anyone tried these?  They had them on sale at gander so I picked up a jar.

Pickled minnows. Never tried them on bass but trout like 'em real well, especially browns.

I've never had much luck with things like that other than as catfish bait.  You can bend them to loosen them up a little and use them as jig trailers, but that's usually more mess than it's worth.  However, your cat will love you.  But not a bad bait for cats, especially in moving water.
