Do the artificial baits work?

I live far from a bait shop and it’s very hard to get good rag worm, does anyone know if those artificial baits like the Berkley one’s work?

If not does anyone know if you can buy bait online? Or any other recommendations?

Cheers

Continuing my search I came across a brand called 'SMARTBaiT' bait sticks...again any opinions??

Thanks again...

have never had any faith in artificial baits, but in saying that there is people that swear by them. if your to far from a tackle/bait shop try the supermarkets fish counter. you can get herring,sprats,mackerel and they are usually cheaper than the bait shops. visit your fishing marks at low tide, gather up a load of shell fish, mussels work very well......... there is a guy on e bay......fishing-baits-for-anglers..... price's seem ok.

tried them once or twice, never got anything on them. have herd they work, but if ya can get fresh...

worth a try, go down to october on the link below, expect most people express common sentiments on using/seeing them for first time
