There are plenty of species that will lovingly take a live worm or scavenge for dead remains but,live bait gives vibrational attraction in the water and I'd say that live baiting on the whole is more successful.

I don't understand how using live bait is cheating in any way.You are fishing with the food source that many fish eat.

@corney:ragworm and I think lugworm can be gutted live and frozen
