I just tried hotdogs, cherry koolaid, garlic(jar minced), and I took pam cooking spray and sprayed into the bag. Oils will bind with smells and extend the release of scent. Probably can use a bit of vege oil instead of pam.
One of the greatest baits of all time for any fish are slices of crab meat covered in garlic powder. Fish love the taste of crab meat and the smell of garlic is addictive to them. I hope you use my tip and catch the biggest fish you have ever seen!!!
I like to mush them into a mesh of some sort and then add the stuff in this video including jello powder to make it more tough. This doubles as a chum and a bait
@Mushroom.Madness. dont do that 😂 Big benefit to this method is it stays good for months. If you want something smelly or just for a day, go with live minnows/shad or livers
On amazon i found this REALLY thin nylon thread (similar to magic thread but way better) and i use it to secure fragile bait to my hooks. I have never lost bait
You can use any combination of those. And I took this batch out a couple times and caught maybe 10 on it total. Not too bad. It was also in a spot where other baits likely wouldn’t have done much better.
@@Wadeboutdoors I personally think the jello or kool aid and garlic is not even necessary. I just use plain hotdogs and it has more than enough scent to get bites from them things.
I feel like the hotdogs and koolaid is cheaper. And chicken livers can work good as long as you string them to keep them on. In my area they don’t work very good because of gar and turtles.
@@Wadeboutdoorsgizzards are even cheaper and tough as fuck they won't come off caught multiple cats on one chunk of gizzard back to back.can season them the same way too
@sirlukesalot4994 gizzards are better than livers for toughness, that’s for sure. I don’t know that they’re cheaper than hotdogs. Can get hotdogs for dollar still some places.
You should use cherry instead it’s apparently better and I’ve seen others put cherry jello with some oil for it to stick better and for the hook problem you should use a clip with a trouble hook take off the hook and from the top push in the hotdog skin down and re attach the hook
@@Wadeboutdoors I was watching someone else he did a test over 200 times to see if fresh bait vs the hotdogs cherry kool aid with strawberry jello and garlic powder he said it was a 75% chance of catching something with the hotdogs he also did it with liver and breast of a chicken which I think worked better
@@emeraldfox7175 As a kid we actually did the opposite and froze them. We cut them up, froze them, and kept them in a cooler with ice packs until we were ready to bait the hooks. We didn't do anything with garlic powder or gatorade. Just little frozen hotdog chunks and we caught plenty of catfish. Compared to the video even our biggest hotdog chunks were at most about half the size. Oftentimes we'd use even smaller pieces. This was in residential lakes in Florida (neighborhood lakes, golf courses, and occassionally canals). We mostly caught catfish and cichlids.
Catfish like sweet pungent smelling stuff hot dogs and garlic provide pungent smell while the Kool aid or jello powder produces the sweet aroma from what I know though catfish rely on their site something we never really knew I now have a bluegill stinger fly hanging out just underneath my main rig.
@@CadinKessler just saying carp as well like pungent and sweet I'm catching a ton from corn meal flour garlic powder and strawberry jello biggest being 20 pounds
I’m not sure. I’ve never tried it. I’m sure you could as long as you gave it time to dry and cure. However, I’m not sure it would work nearly as good. I feel like it would wash off easily.
@WadeBOutdoors it probably would wash off. However, if it does, I would still have the garlic on the hotdogs. Whenever it dried, the hotdogs toughened up and become hard. I will try it this evening and tell you if it works.
I mixed in a shot of whiskey and this catfish with overalls jumped out of the water with a banjo.
Seems legit 🤣😅
Lmao!
Damn 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hillbilly catfish
As a catfish I can confirm this slaps
🤣🤣 thanks
😂😂
Same
😂 😂😂😂
Same finally a fellow catfish
I started using jello powder. It makes the hot dogs a little tougher and rubbery. They never come off the hook
There ya go! Keep in the fridge after mixing it I assume?
@@Wadeboutdoors always do. The beauty over chicken is it has 2 things that last for months refrigerated.
That’s for sure true! And doesn’t smell like rot!
Or use sausage
@johnlacenere4525 did you use a full box of jello powder? And how long did you refrigerate for? Thanks.
I just tried hotdogs, cherry koolaid, garlic(jar minced), and I took pam cooking spray and sprayed into the bag. Oils will bind with smells and extend the release of scent.
Probably can use a bit of vege oil instead of pam.
Good luck!
Any science to back that up? Berkeley claims any scented oil or oil based scents do not work whatsoever
I used the same recipe sept I used banana strawberry jello works great
Awesome! Haven’t tried with banana but I could see it working well.
Been usin this for cats since i could fish 😂
It definitely can work.
One of the greatest baits of all time for any fish are slices of crab meat covered in garlic powder. Fish love the taste of crab meat and the smell of garlic is addictive to them. I hope you use my tip and catch the biggest fish you have ever seen!!!
I’m sure it works. How does crab meat hold up on a hook? I’ve used shrimp and garlic and it works great too.
Seems super expensive bait. Could you use imitation crab?
I would agree.
I like to mush them into a mesh of some sort and then add the stuff in this video including jello powder to make it more tough. This doubles as a chum and a bait
Sounds like it would work pretty well.
@@Wadeboutdoors it does
Do you recommend to let the bait sit outside and get raunchy or set it in the fridge
I know people that do both. Seems it’s a preference deal but no way to say which is more beneficial.
well, don't forget that you've got to put the raunchy dogs on the hook still so... unless you got gloves 😄
They aren’t that bad but yeah, it can stain your fingers with whatever color/flavor you use if you don’t have gloves.
@@Wadeboutdoors yeah, I meant if you let it sit outside awhile
@Mushroom.Madness. dont do that 😂
Big benefit to this method is it stays good for months.
If you want something smelly or just for a day, go with live minnows/shad or livers
That's it, you're not going to show how well it worked.
It works. Sorry I didn’t video it. I will have to in the future.
Jello will make the hot dogs firmer and stay on better
Yes. I know people that use that as well.
I think it's just the hot dog they want but the extra stuff lures them in nice thinking
Yes for sure. The koolaid is just a scent to put in the water to help them find it.
Scent . The garlic and stuf is for the smell
On amazon i found this REALLY thin nylon thread (similar to magic thread but way better) and i use it to secure fragile bait to my hooks. I have never lost bait
That works really well with livers and hotdogs. Baits that tear easily. It’s a good idea.
i have used dental floss for keeping chicken liver on. actually worked.
@noahpickering4596 there ya go! I’m sure it would work great for this as well.
Can you substitute Kool-Aid mix for Jell-O mix?
Yes you can. You’ll see a little difference in how well each works but it can work also.
@@Wadeboutdoors Right on my man thank you
You’re welcome. Good luck! Let me know how you do if you try it!
Unlesd the catfish are black i dont think the grape flavor is gonna work
Lmaoooooooo this guy
Well, they are bottom feeders so...
Going fishing with my buddy thanks for helping
Awesome! Good luck!
Did you have any luck with this?
Yes. It works!
Never heard of garlic salt. Powder yes. And always red never grape. How’d you do?
You can use any combination of those. And I took this batch out a couple times and caught maybe 10 on it total. Not too bad. It was also in a spot where other baits likely wouldn’t have done much better.
@@Wadeboutdoors I personally think the jello or kool aid and garlic is not even necessary. I just use plain hotdogs and it has more than enough scent to get bites from them things.
@moseskongi4746 plain hot dogs can work for sure.
I MUST TELL MY BRUTHAS
My PB kitty was caught on dollar store bacon
The more garlic the better tho trust me and also try shrimp with koolaid and garlic it WORKS
Yes! Shrimp is something I just tried for the first time last year. They do awesome!
Does this really work?
Yes it does
Pretty expensive these days for hotdogs and kool-aid.
Chicken livers son... chicken livers
I feel like the hotdogs and koolaid is cheaper. And chicken livers can work good as long as you string them to keep them on. In my area they don’t work very good because of gar and turtles.
@@Wadeboutdoorsgizzards are even cheaper and tough as fuck they won't come off caught multiple cats on one chunk of gizzard back to back.can season them the same way too
Like 1.25-1.50 per lb
@sirlukesalot4994 gizzards are better than livers for toughness, that’s for sure. I don’t know that they’re cheaper than hotdogs. Can get hotdogs for dollar still some places.
Biden days lol
I used expired spicy hotdogs and they worked a charm and I caught a channel catfish and a northern pike surprisingly and a ton of bluegill
That’s awesome. I never thought about something like pike biting on them.
Turkey or beef hotdog?
Either works.
You have to get the good hot dogs with thick skin so they don’t fall off
That would help for sure.
Or use vinegar
Use a snap swivel with a treble hook , slide your your through the middle and attach it back to the swivel
Your your what lol
@@FrameRothook, I think that’s what he meant
This is a good idea, I need to try this
It definitely can work.
You should use cherry instead it’s apparently better and I’ve seen others put cherry jello with some oil for it to stick better and for the hook problem you should use a clip with a trouble hook take off the hook and from the top push in the hotdog skin down and re attach the hook
Yes, I didn’t have as much luck with the grape as I anticipated.

Microwave your hotdogs,toughenes them up,won't tear off your hook
Never thought of trying that. Good idea.

Is it better than chicken
I think chicken is better. This is just a little quicker to prepare and ease of use.
Garlic powderrrrrrr!!!!! Not salt come onnnnnnnnnn
You can use either one.
No koolaid just minced garlic and yogurt
That works too.
I did this with some cherry and garlic and cinnamon and they were all over it
Heck yeah! Can’t beat that.
My fav is cherry or fruit punch. Looks like blood.
I definitely like cherry. Never tried fruit punch.
Does it work
Yes it does
chicken liver never fails had 24 today in 2 hours
Heck yeah. We just have a lot of gar around here that seem to be terrorists if you use liver.
I assume cherry would be better because it looks like blood as it seeps away from the hotdog
Not sure if that’s the reason but a lot of people do prefer it.
Fish don't see colors, they can smell the blood if that's the case.
Catfish like sweet pungent smelling stuff hot dogs and garlic provide pungent smell while the Kool aid or jello powder produces the sweet aroma from what I know though catfish rely on their site something we never really knew I now have a bluegill stinger fly hanging out just underneath my main rig.
@@theenergeticturtle9489 okay ramsey
@@CadinKessler just saying carp as well like pungent and sweet I'm catching a ton from corn meal flour garlic powder and strawberry jello biggest being 20 pounds
I cook my hot dogs up a bit to get it a little rubbery.
That’s a good idea too.
I tryed it got nothing
Dang. It definitely can work. Might not have been fish there or biting at that time.
Can I use this sweet electrolyte I got to replace the koolaid
You could try it
Use a lot more garlic powder. Red koolaid, you can also try adding some onion powder as well.
I didn’t want to overdo it but others have said more is better as well.
The kool aid just makes it more colorful. Don’t use it. Fish won’t notice it and it just makes a mess
It definitely can/will stain your hands without gloves
Heres a tip, wrap about a yard of mono line around the hotdog when it’s on the hook, it’s should stay on after several bites
Yeah you could do that, similarly to using livers.
Them fish love kool aid
Yes they do.
Does it have to be grape kool aid
Nope! A lot of people prefer cherry. But I would say those two are the most common.
I like to use chicken breast with cherry koolaid
Yes! That works great!
I just use a Gernade and put it in a bag toss it bam tons
My papa puts chicken in Jello and garlic
Yes! Same process. Works well also.
let the hot dog lay out in the sun while your fishing and theyll dry up.
Yes for sure! Let it ferment.
So how many packs of kool aid for 2 packs of hot dogs?
I would probably do 4.
Shit I’d eat it too 😂
I don’t think it would taste very good. 😂
Full video is on my channel!
Use cherry so it looks like blood
I don’t know that they key on the color but they do like cherry for sure.
😂😂🤦🏽🤦🏽
I just use worms...
They work too.
Do the same thing but chicken liver
Yes! Actual chicken and shrimp work too!
Best song ever
Yo can i jst use hot dogs or is the kool aid a must ?
You can use just hotdogs. The kool aid just adds another flavor and scent to it. Makes it more attractive than just plain hotdogs.
Yes koolaid garlic powder and vegetable oil works great
Can I use liquid kool aid
I’m not sure. I’ve never tried it. I’m sure you could as long as you gave it time to dry and cure. However, I’m not sure it would work nearly as good. I feel like it would wash off easily.
