The 5-Cent Bait Recipe Cards

12 printable kitchen-table bait recipes with exact amounts — the homemade baits old-timers kept on scraps of paper and never shared.

Inside: Gus's Sweet-Soak Corn, Bread & Parmesan Putty, Vanilla Oat Carp Balls, Panfish Peas, Overnight Garlic Livers, Backyard Catfish Dip, Red Garlic Hot Dogs, Cat-Food Scent Sock, The Trout Sandwich, Salt-Cured Shrimp, Liver-and-Flour Dough and Gus's Scent Oil.

Every card shows a photo, ingredients, step-by-step prep, the target fish, hook size, shelf life and cost — most of them about 5 cents a bait. Plus a storage & hook chart, kitchen safety rules and one shopping list that covers the whole deck.
