The key to the hay set is to make them walk all over it trying to find the bits of bait, in the old days it was cracklings. I am guessing you could use pork rinds in the same manner. Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure Theodore Roosevelt

As I was leaving the driveway I saw another red run right in front of my truck. Seems like there is a good amount in the area. What sets would you recommend I use? Should I keep using what has worked or do I need to change it up now?
