I jig the canal a bit and most times use a 4 ounce jig with an uncle josh porkrind. I was talking with NIB the other day about eelskins and he mentions how he just throws away the scraps form the leftover eelskins when you cut them to length. I do the same and it got me thinking, what if I cut those scraps into pieces and hook them on as a trailer instead of porkrind
and he said sure maybe them you'd have a chance at hooking up when you get those hits that fold over the pork onto the hook and you miss those fish , now with the skin it would penetrate clean thru the skin and you can now set up on the fish. I think I will be saving my scraps and try some different sizes and shapes and ways of tieing them onto various jigs. Not that I need more ways to catch but with money being tight it's a way to keep from spending more than I have to. Waht do you think? feasible?
