MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 there are chunk molds on ebay right now i typed in "worm mold" and got a bunch of results including a auction with 3 four cavity chunk molds the price was 4 or 5 bucks plus shipping of 3 dollars sounds good for 3 molds seems like a cheep way to try out the soft plastic pork chunks.

Basseducer Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 If you can live without the fat part, you can use pieces of chamois. You can cut it to any shape, you can dye it any color, it holds scent and when it dries out, just get it wet again and it comes right back. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdog Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Years ago we butchered our own hogs and I had to fight for the belly skin so I could make pork rinds for fishing. The back and side hide was too tough to accurately cut. The process itself is simple. Chill the skin and fat to almost freezing. It really helps to place the hide skin down on a baking sheet, cover it with wax paper weight it with something flat and put in freezer for a hour or two, Sharpen your knife and a good fillet knife works well but I prefer a good butchers knife Remove from freezer extract the pork side and place on cutting board and slice desired shapes. Trim fat to desired thickness. I used a metal straight edge and cut isosceles triangles about 1/2 - 3/8 inches wide at base of triangle by 10 - 12 inches long. Also cut pork frogs and several mini sizes. It is a good idea to use an ice pick punch your hook hole before brining A brine solution 5 pounds of salt dissolved in a gallon of water usually done with boiling water to dissolve the salt quickly. loosely fill a gallon mason jar with your cut strips fill to rim with the brine solution store in a cool place and they seem to last forever. Note standard ball jar lids will corrode making it almost impossible to open the jar. We had a bunch of the old glass lid jars with a clamp and rubber seals that worked well closest thing I can find now is at this site. http://www.specialtybottle.com/swingtopbalejarsmi.aspx to go fishing dredge out a hand full, place in a plastic bag and head to the lake, pond wherever. Can be colored with food coloring if desired. We used to keep them for a couple years sometimes longer, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlRNothing Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I always hated trying to use pork trailers. Could never get them off the hook and would have to just let them dry on there and cut them off with a knife. Are there situations (fish species?) where pork really outfishes salt-infused plastic?
