What are ya meaning by fruit paste?

[rustynail]

If im not mistaking I think Blackies lure makes the fruit paste bait.

[strongriver]

Yes him and Bob Jamison carries it. I use alot in the lures I make good stuff. It will take on any smell u mix with it. I mix cherry and several fish oils with it to make my paste lures. Good about not freezing.

Cheapest and easiest bait for anybody in this state is boiled crawfish. I throw all the scraps and what little crawfish didn't get eaten into gallon ziplock bags and freeze until trapping season. One bag at a time, lasts a few days. Great visual, and it dont rot fast but the crawfish smell gets Louder. when i throw some in a hole i know im going to catch something "Because im on location".Catches grays too. Don't know about y'all, but we get down on some crawfish when their in season! I get a lot of scraps!

[Jeffrich]

I found this bait that I'm anxious to try.  Looks easy and fairly inexpensive for the amount that it will make.

Haven't tried it yet, but definitely will.

I used this paste this past season with pretty good results

Seafood flavor catfood, with crawfish oil works well for dogproofs. I will say that dogproofs on creeks is a problem for me, but pocket sets work beautifully. I substitute catfood with actual crawfish, get catches every time.
