Before y’all laugh, keep in mind what pork tails for spinnerbaits are made of. I was taught by an old timer that small pieces of white ■■■■■■■ (salted pork fat) make great bluegill/panfish bait.
He’s right, when I fish small ponds, I occasionally take small 1/4" chunks with me and just fish it on a split shot. I’ve caught 24 bluegill on the same piece.
Tomorrow, if the weather allows, we’re going to try this for bluefish. I’m going to cut the ■■■■■■■ into 1.5" strips and put them on either a treble hook or a #2 j-hook. Maybe a jig head instead.
Wanna see if the blues will hit it without shredding it.
