I use a small paint strainer bag and fill it with pellets. The pellets disintegrate and some of it gets out to use as lure.

Editing: I also toss some pellets in the vicinity of the trap(s).

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
