Well so far we've seen white bread/buns and dog food was best from most responders, but we've also heard styrofoam peanuts, different crackers, fish food in a nylon, and ivory soap.  I like to set up an experiment in the same pool with traps filled with the main responses and see which is the best producer.  If anybody else has tested side by side these baits, I'd love to hear the results.

I tested bread and dog food toghether last winter side by side, dog food always had way more, now i usual;ly use both, i think the bread works well to help them find the trap quickly then the dog food keeps them around
Theres only 3 seasons..open water, hunting and icefishing!
