CLAM is ALWAYS good. We use salted clam or frozen salted clam.
However, around here were have Bergalls aka Cunner which is a small wrasse fish related to Blackfish aka Tautog. They can put a hurting on a gallon of clam.

When they are a problem stealing clam they become the bait. Excellent bait. Tough and FREE. Fillet both sides, cut that in half and you have 4 great baits.

When seabass are keyed on sandeels you can jig them pretty well.

Seabass are always puking up crabs and lobsters so thats an expensive option.
