(72.171.0.141) I found the coolest new "lures" recently. They are made by "Stubby Steve" and are an artificial fish food lure. With texture and material similar to sponge, colored similar to Aquamax 600 or standard 1/4" catfish pellets, flavored, and biodegradable. They are perfect for pondmeisters who feed their fish, but will likely work even without feeding program.
I tried them out a week ago on fly rod and caught 5 different species of fish within an hour: feedtrained LMB, HSB, CNBG, Catfish, and Grass Carp.
They stay on a hook surprisingly well!
Each package comes with 20 pellets. Can fish them floating with a #10 fly fishing hook, or can sink them with heavier hook. I caught all my fish on a slow sink.
George Glazener recently had his wife Nicky try some while he used his conventional pellet fly and she whipped him 10 fish to 3.
I will be offering these to pond boss folks at a special price, just to be nice, and offering them to all of my customers as a great new way to catch fish. PM me if you are interested.
Here are some pics: Sorry for the poor pictures.

I think this can be explained by the fact that you've reached the age of colonoscopy, given that you're a married man.

LSHIFIMP!
I think Young Man tweaked the pics a little, 'cause I can see them now too.
I've been waiting for something like that to come out commercially. Where is the stuff available from?

(12.206.88.247) I wonder if they will do well on a public lake.

(64.184.41.242) Is that 20 pieces for $5.00? How long do they last on the hook?

Cecil, ours lasted 3-4 landed fish per pellet.
I believe that Overton may offer discount for forum members

(74.47.218.119) It will be interesting to see if and how Bill Cody responds.
He certainly changed my view on using feed pellets as bait. I've used them very sparingly ever since. I did use them with my trout last spring, but I mostly quit using them for catfish and bluegill, fearing that they will stop coming up for pellets during feeding.
When the fish aren't very active, and we want a fish fry, we find that gummy white bread (like WonderBread) works pretty well when formed around a hook.
Maybe this is subject for an additional thread. But, for a while, I stopped using "soft" plastic baits like artificial worms and grubs after finding them in the stomachs of a couple of my skinny fish, after a PB article, and after one of the presentations at last year's conference. But, I returned to using them after I realized just how few soft baits I actually lose to fish.
However, I have really restricted the amount of Gulp products that I use. I was losing a lot of it to fish that didn't get pulled in, and I was worried about its effects.
