If the cats swallow the hook, just slide the worm up the line, cut off the hook end and retie a new hook. You can salvage them hooks when you clean the fish. No need to mess with trying to get them back before that. If you decide to throw them back they will survive til that hook rots out as well. www.iowatrapperstalk.com ON SALE NOW - ADC's Baits and Supplies, click here

I prefer the Doc's worms too, but in my opinion they don't have to be that brand if you can find something cheaper. I Haven't noticed that color of the worm makes any difference so I don't worry much about that.

jalstat OP trapper J Joined: Dec 2022 illinois	ADC we think alike exactly how I do it and prefer they swallow the hook. I have also noticed that when you miss a hook set they usually just have the tube reason being I have hoisted a few up over the years with the hook outside their mouth and the tube down the gullet

I Haven't noticed that color of the worm makes any difference so I don't worry much about that. Doc are made of different rubber of some kind that the bait sticks to better than the others. Use an orange doc's worm next to whatever brand and color you like, you'll see. www.iowatrapperstalk.com ON SALE NOW - ADC's Baits and Supplies, click here
