I just don't see fish being attracted to pepperoni, it probably wouldn't smell too appetizing to them? We used cheese and it was that crappy processed cheese and that worked like crazy.
We always used worms, live and wriggling because movement makes the fish curious. I've heard good things about dried flies but never tried that.
the weirdest thing we used was trout as bait when fishing for trout. We had some left over and used it the next day and caught one fish. The rest of the fish jumped out of the water and applauded us for catching the neighborhood serial killer.
