Dog treats for bass?

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.

Dan, Thanks for the vote of confidence. I have a pigs ear soaking right now and it is softing up very nice. I will give it a try and see what happens. To tell you the truth though I am not expecting good things. I could fish a 30 foot round farm pond filled with a 100 bass and still only catch the 2 carp (on a spinnerbait, no less) in the pond. ;-)

Eric, Do you know my old lady? How did you know she likes gnawing on pig ears? :-)hehe. If the soaking in water doesn't soften them up enough I will give her a try!

Mike.

Yep, dopey has a new screen name. You can call me "Pork Builder". It's cool. You might be right. I'm just a troll. I didn't post any of my idea for the world to see. Nobody could figure out my "custom lure". Everyone had to send me $5.00 to see what it was all about. I only posted that "I have invented (or found at a flea market) a world class pork trailer that has great action and fishes 3x better than live bait. Please send me $5.00 and I will send you 12 of these world class super bass baits." Yep, that is exactly what I posted.

That's F-d up. I come here posting my first message asking for advice on an idea I had and you equate me to a Lure Building troll. Thanks for the advice, Warren. Let me ask you, how did you do at this years NWC? The big zero huh? Not a single keeper. Maybe you should try Pork Builder Lures custom trailers!

I think my trailer company's motto will be "We catch keeper's" Thanks again for your input. They should sell great on e-bay. Can I count on you for an endorsement?

Oh well. Maybe my ideas will help some of the other poor anglers out there save a buck or two and still catch a fish. We can't all be "pro's" making the big dollars like yourself.

Mike aka the Pork Builder.
