dough that you don't even have to cook or pack bait for a paylake? Creamed corn makes a very good all round bonder. Bread dipped in it for a dough ball, wheaties cereal wet with it or corn flakes. Instant grits, not quick grits, wet with it, instant oatmeal wet with it. flavoring by liquid or powder such as coolaide or jello, garlic salt. Trout chow from a local feed store if as dough put in blender to make a flower is great. Feed corn from a feed store and is whole kernal either boiled until a hook penetrates it easily or set up in a bucket in the sun to sour. Add flavoring to suit yourself. Berkley Carp Power bait from Walmart or Strike king carp dough from same place do catch carp. Texas Pete sauce added or powdered cayanne pepper is great, especially to keep cats and bream from bait. Spam cut into cubes and toughened in microwave which also releases juices work. Scratch corn added to any of above is good. Karo clear syrup with cornmeal, cornstarch, and a coolaide or jello makes a good paste that will stay on hook and longer you air dry becomes thicker. Can't be made wrong. dry add more corn syrup, wet add more cornstarch or corn flower from the spanish food section. Texas pete honey mustard in instant grits will give them a wake up call. Any flavored soft drink in wheaties , corn flakes , or instant oatmeal and set for 30 minutes before fishing. Discount groceries with outdated or bent can goods are a wealth of ingrdiants. Canned whole rain corn with powdered cheese, flavoring, garlic salt. Sugar pops or kix cereal soaked in just enough flavoring to wet and sugar added plus salt and shaked in zip lock bag. Also catfish dip baits with corn pops dipped in instead of dip worm.
