Does anyone use butterfly baits with great success? I was under the impression that it gave the illusion of the fish swimming but it seems it just attracts the crabs and pickers. Am I better off where live bait is unavailabe to just use just a dead bait whole to avoid pickers? Is it mainly for boat fishing or can it be used LB? I don't think I have read much on people using this method and I am wondering why???

Thanks
