Strawberry Smelt

Strawberry Smelt has been a favorite bait for channel cats know matter were i use them even the pike like them because of there color red. i generally will get a 3 lb bag of smelt from the store then when mixing use one package of kool-aid to a 1/4 cup water not hot water cold water and put all in a zip-lock and let sit over nite before you use them they work awesome in my area.

we dont have smelt around here ...............i use alot of cut shad and ive soaked it in strawberry banana jello with alot of luck !!!
