It would be interesting to see which are hardier. It would stand to reason white perch w/b because they are andromonous. I am sure white perch are also natural prey for migrating stripers at times. Their shape and color more closely resemble herring, pogies, scup or shad.
I clipped the dorsal on mine; not that a decent bass would have any trouble inhaling it. I would assume chunking these would also prove effective and easy on the wallet.
If you have ever tasted WP caught fresh you might not waste them on an inferior tasting fish such as striped bass. I tend to shy away from fresh water fish no matter where they are taken.
As with any larger bait, you would need a good high capacity bait well with aeration. Culling these panfish generally improves our fresh water fisheries as well.
Leave those herring alone for a few years!!!
