take it all and stuff it inside the stomach and cut small slits in the stomach. Hook the opening of the stomach and you will not loose your bait. I use bream stomach.
Go to good old walmart or a craft store and get some elastic sewin thread. Wrap it around the bait a couple times and let it rip. Works like a champ. Been usein it for years with nothin but success.
i hook through the middle of the shad gizzard, it's like a bead. i wrap the guts around the hook shank and hook them best i can. last spring i caught a 22 pound blue and a 17 pound channel off the same gizzard, and the guts were all gone.
I use the wal mart thread but most of the time we buy the dollar general sponge looking scrubbers that u use to take a shower with and just tear off a 3x3 piece, put the liver in it, hook it on and cast away as far as u like!!!!
