[QUOTE="Sum1, post: 83938, member: 470"] One year I ordered some giant smelt and thought I was gonna slaughter the fatties. The results were....well lets just say I no longer order giant smelt. I still try to use the biggest smelt in the bag that are probably 7 to 8 inches at the biggest. I actually like the herring that come vacuum sealed in those Styrofoam trays. They seem to be a little bigger than your average store bought smelt and are a little flashier. I have caught a three over 20 and plenty over 15 and all have come on the smaller smelt. I really don't think the size matters as much as one would like to think. If you don't mind spending the extra money on the big smelt and it gives you more confidence thats the way to go. I personally don't think the pike care either way. The smelt hanging there isn't swimming away from them regardless if there hungry theyll eat whatever size it is. Its kinda like a fat girl, you think she's gonna pass up that piece of chocolate just cause its small? I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
