Lots of guys used to liveline pogies. Of course, it was when you could go to any one of about a dozen tidal creeks in a 10 mile radius and get a dozen pogies in a short enough time to keep them alive in a 5 gallon bucket while you got them, then zipped back to the Canal, ran your bucket and a herring basket down to the Canal and got them in the basket while still alive. Guys with pick-ups started keeping livewells in the bed.
Then people started to realize that fresh chunks work as good--and sometimes better--than whole live. Lot easier to get, lot easier to use, as good if not better results a lot of the time. Stiffy and Flap were the ones who kind of started the trend.
The reason guys don't use live today is, well, live pogies aren't around in nearly as many numbers as they were in the 80s and early 90s.
