Blood worms?

I'm talking about the little insect larvae that live in the mudflats of lakes. Do you use baits that mimic them or smell like them? Any thoughts?
 
Also, do  you ever chum ice holes? I've heard of dropping scent-soaked rice down a hole to attract fish and keep them there. Ever tried it?

    I have done well with Bro's blood worms on the ice & in open water. The only complaint is, that they get chewed up fast.But I guess that is a good thing?  sam

    Awesome! I'll have to give them a try.
