Many people know that panfish like wax worms. But what happens when you run out of bait on your trip or you don't really feel like running to town to the store? Trying looking for some dried up goldenrod stalks! I was very surprised to find that the lumpy ball (officially called a "gall") usually contains a little worm very similar to a wax worm in the cold winter months. Simply, make a shallow cut around the ball and then try to pry it open. These worms can make a nice alternative source of bait for those winter fishing trips!
Good Luck!
