    The old timers used a soap called ZOTE, to bait trot lines.

    We made a small miter box and used a hacksaw blade to cut the bar in appropriate sized chunks, then drilled a hole for the hook. The soap dissolves and leaves a scent trail on top of the water. It works pretty good on trotlines & jugs.
    You just gonna sit there an argue, or fish?
