ST1 and Reel, thanks for the f/u posts. Your shad on 'buts sounds like a very interesting trick. I have also done well using sardines pumped full of oil with a syringe and coated with WD40. Seems to be a good 1-2 punch.

DMSO sounds very intriguing. Not sure how much I want it around the house with my 16 month old, but I would love to hear any updates from your findings. I'll look forward to your posts.

ST1, I can think of a few great fisheries down your way where your cocktail must really come in handy! Good luck to you.

Steve
