Prolly used them and didn't want any one to know. They are a natural bait. As kid w would spit a small piece of earthworm and let it hang from a hook. The pot guts would try to eat it but was to big for them to swallow. We could lift them out of the water before they could let go.
Thanks Harold. I was just born and raised here by some wonderful parents.

Sure glad I wasn't born in Louisiana. LOL
