What do you use for bait bags "mesh" for livers.

I don't remember who it was, but I think someone on this forum
mentioned the "poof balls" that a lot of people keep in there shower.
They cost a couple of bucks and you cut them apart and it is amazing how much mesh is there.

Whats wrong with just using spawn netting and magic thread like he is in the vid? Thats what I use and I got the thread+mesh material for like 3 or 4 bucks at a tackle shop.

Nothing,sounds like a good idea if you already got the material handy!:big_smile:

i always used to use panty hose like you said and has worked pretty well but most of the time i just take the thin white muscle from the liver and wrap it around itself kinda a pain to wrap with though. they also make those treble hooks with the springs on em and i'd say that they've always worked the best.

If you know anyone that works in the food industry that require the employees to wear hair nets, ask them to grab ya a hand full.

i just use elastic string wrap it around the liver a bunch of times and your good to go. you can get it at walmart for a buck a roll and its lasts a while.

The best material I've found is pantyhose. I use the cheap knee-high ones that come in the tiny plastic egg at Wal-Mart. It costs $0.33 for a pair, and I can make about 6 bait bags from each one. That's 12 bags for $0.33! CHEAP! They are ultra effective at keeping the bait contained throughout casting and nibbles. If hooked properly they can cover the point for tricky fishing holes decreasing snag frequency. They also allow for good scent distribution in the water as it is just a fine mesh. I tear a peice of liver off the size of a fifty-cent peice, drop it in and pull it right to the bottom then tie a regular knot in. Tie another knot maybe a half inch up, pull the knots as tight as you can and cut between them. Repeat as needed. Works great for stink and cheese bait to, and you can get by with less bait, and hosiery used for those types aswell.

i second the hair nets, sometimes they work to good and you have to cut the line off your hook. I know my local dollar store sells them.

You can go into any Wal-Mart that has a fabrics section and buy the mesh.It,s real soft,almost like pantyhose.It comes by the yard,take it home and cut it into squares.It,s cheap and comes in several different colors.$10 bucks worth will last you a very long time.If there,s not a Wal-Mart near you(like thats possible),you can go into any fabric store and get the same thing.:big_smile:

LOL well..... I know of one town about 10-20 mins away from me that DOESN'T have a Wal-Mart Granted it a small town and kinda behind the times look to it (my fav kinda place, would love to live there!)

Got me some of the mesh and thread from Cabelas a couple of years ago and it worked great.
