Large Fathead Minnows – For Feeding and Live Bait Use

The Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) is one of the most dependable forage species in freshwater pond management. While small and medium sizes are often used to establish a breeding forage base, these large-grade minnows are selected specifically for feeding mature predators or for use as live bait.

The larger sized fatheads make more tempting forage for bass, hybrid striped bass, and catfish to target, providing immediate nutritional value in both stocked ponds and bait applications. Like all fatheads, they are hardy, easy to handle, and adaptable to a wide range of conditions — these are pond-ready for immediate feeding.
