Anyone on the piers using artificial bait?

[Hook and Fin]

Maybe I'm cheap but I swear I'm going to start using artifical bait so I don't have to buy more real bait every few hours.

Seriously is anyone having any luck with the fake stuff?

I've never caught much on artificial bait and you can lose it as well. If you lose a few of your artificial baits it could cost you as much as the real deal.
