Has anyone here ever used dog treats(rawhide, pigs ears and such) as
trailers for other lures? I gave my dog a rawhide tonight and the
thought hit me. If uncle josh can get $4.00 bucks a jar, why can't I
make my own for far less? I am guessing if I soak a pig's ear or
rawhide in water for a few hours it should soften up enough to use. I
guess I could even boil them down with salt and garlic powder or in
beef or chicken broth for custom flavors. I could even use red food
coloring for that bleeding/dying effect. Has anyone ever tried this?
The theory seems good to me. I can buy 20 rawhides for less than $4.00
and I would guess make 40-50 trailers easy.

Look for them on e-bay next week. :-0 5 bucks a dozen! Hell, if other
people can steal dead guys lure designs and sell them for $18.00 a
pop, $5.00 a dozen for custom scented bleeding trailers should be a
steal! ;-)

Just a cheap thought.

Mike.
