Depends on what I am fishing for. Bass fishing - no. I fish tourneys, which are all artificial, so all my bass fishing (at least when that is the targeted species) is artificial.
Crappie - sometimes. I throw minners and jigs equally.
Stripers/hybrids - sometimes. Live shad, and in the future, live trout on downlines or planer boards. But, depending on the time of the year, Umbrella rigs, and even just spinnerbaits and jerkbaits around schools of shad being busted do me well.
Catfish - been awhile since I fished for them, but I would call that a maybe. Usually it is dead bait (was live at one point :lol: ), but I am not an artificial kinda guy for them (other than a purple worm, or black/blue jig, I don't know what artificial you would catch them on).
Ocean - dang straight. When I get down there, mud minners and live shrimp do me well. Even for reds, I will throw live stuff, even though they are kinda like bass, in that redfishing purists will only throw artificials.
