I made a killer lure/bait one time. It was insane. I thought I had lost the formula (I actually wrote it down as I experimented for once) and then one day, there it was. I don't know where it is off hand, but it is somewhere. It was a lot of work to make, but it was well worth it.

John died? Somehow I missed this. I hate to hear this.

O.L. Butcher lures were excellent for me. Also liked Mast brand but they were made by Frank Terry (if I recall correctly) when I used them, not the originator Jim Mast. I really liked his "mexican" coon scent & coyote lures. Also Garold Weiland's Big Deuce and Big Red I think it was called were favorites.
I think those lines are gone now for good.
I think I heard or read somewhere that O'Gormans is going away? Maybe I just imagined that?
