How would it stay on the hook? Row bag?

I would think it would not require that. Think about it: once soap gets a bit moist it's like glue. I would think you could put it on rather easily and once it hit the water it would just glob around the hook and stay there.

Next time I go fishing, we'll find out.

yes

 

[TacoMac]

Well, shit. I'll have to get a buddy to give me a couple of his.

 

[tampee]

Too many to list I have a lot of lures.

Try Zote soap. It's in the laundry detergent section. Zote is soft and mashes around a treble hook easy. I use it on yo-yos that I have rigged up for river fishing. Works just as good as anything for channel cats in my neck of the woods. It stays on the hook. A bar cost about $1.50 and you can get 50 or so 3/4" cubes out of it.

That sounds awesome!
I used blood bait for cats, but it wasn't stinky. Had to keep the jug refrigerated. They mixed blood with feathers to keep it on the hook. It clotted & got darker, but smelled fine.

It's not a bass lure but I'm setting here wishing that I could go fishing. Damn I hate the cold!

I love my REVO.

I love my REVO.

IMHO they are the best reels on the market. I have six and a couple of them are 9 years old.

I'm going to be bankrupt if I don't get to go fishing soon.

i've never had much luck with soft plastics for some reason.
i always do well with rapala's, things like the x rap, and rattle traps do good for me..
i also like some chartrouse colored spinners and caught a few with top water poppers and what not.. rooster tails is another one i've had some good luck with..
