The glue turned ghost white after about a minute in the water.
QA, my bride keeps a glue gun and something like it may work. It melts plastic sticks and these are relatively clear. Being plastic it probably doesn't have a lot of scent. While hot you may even by able to dust it with ground feed.
I did get one to the dock using a 2-3" HBG, but it spit the barbless hook out at the dock.
2" to 3" sunfish are awesome bait. When I fish with BG with my son I usually hold my pole and he leaves his in the holder (I drive 1 1/2 pvc cut at an angle on one end into the ground). He is always getting distracted and usually he doesn't even know he is getting a bite until he has already hooked one. The interesting thing is ... despite the extra attention I give my pole ... he catches as many fish as I do.
