I've had good luck with hot dogs soaked in garlic and anise extract. I get the cheapest hot dogs I can find and mix them with garlic that I buy in a jar at Wal-mart and a little anise extract ( I can't find anise oil). Then I put it into the fridge for a week or two.
It works well on trotlines and yoyo's. I have trouble keeping it on the hook when casting though.
I have caught may a catfish on hot dogs! I get the the cheapest that I can find and set them out in the sun for a day. The only bad thing is that it is hard to cast them very far!
James, why do you want to waste a good hot-dog on fish bait ,with all that fresh bait swimming aroundout there, even cheap hot-dogs are good, :big_smile_2: ....................
James, My name is also Jimmy Don and I am from arkansas...... Welcome aboard. Wierd, I thought I was the only one branded with that name. Forget the hotdogs Fish eat fish.... keep that in mind. later Mac
Slice up 1lb of hot dogs then put them all in a blender blend them well. then empty them into a large bowl and add to the hot dog mix your anise oil or what ever you want then stir them well. if not thick enuff for you add alittle flour to it and mix again.
Get you some looper rigs dip them init and work it around pull it out and cast and wait for the fish to hit. hope this is to some help.
An old timer on the river running jugs swears by hotdogs.... it's all he uses. He puts them in a plastic container with a lid and adds red and yellow food coloring to make them a bright orange.

My recipe for hot dogs is: I cut up three hot dogs in about a half inch pieces and then i add blood from the jar of chicken liver. Next i will add a buch of vanilla extract and a LOT of garlic powder. Next i added a seasoning called adobo which is great for the cats. I also added horseradish and spicy mustard. As i was whippin this concoction up i figured i like everything in here and cats love everything so it will work. And what do you know it does work. I highly recomend it.
I'm new here but I've tried the hotdogs. Tried them in strawberry koolaid and garlic first. They were so soft they would cast off easily. Tried the hotdogs coated in cherry jello powder and garlic powder. Much, much better. The jello appears to toughen up the hotdog quite a bit.
I've caught some channel cats on this mixture. Use a threading needle to put them on a Snelled hook and slide them down onto the circle hook. Just my newbie 2 cents worth.
When they can't find a good fish dinner, they might just stop and grab a hotdog, or chicken liver, or shrimp, or some mixture of flavoring in a plastic tube. Justa lookin' for a meal.
I eat the hot dogs while i'm catching bluegill for bait.
