Is there really any difference in how good they are as opposed to blow or yellow tail,I never noticed any difference? :?: where I dig I can get both and have fished them side by side

Never used the black wraps in summer as blows are so easy to dig. Always thought of them as more of a winter thing. Might keep a few for the summer Bassing and see what happens.

I've never found much difference between the two.Although I do seem to get less bites on the frozen lug :( . Fresh bait all the way for me unless I dont have the time to dig.
