Sponges instead of sardines for plug wraps?

July 29, 2008 By JD Leave a Comment

JD, In regard to your video on how to sardine-wrap plugs, would it work if I glued a small piece of sponge on the bottom of a Kwikfish and put sardine oil on it rather than wrap on a piece of sardine?

–Jim D.B.

Jim, you can do that (it’s not as effective as a real sardine) but the main problem is your plug will have a serious case of stank on it (which the fish don’t like, by the way!) if you leave the sponge on there after the trip. You’ll need to peel them off after each outing and thoroughly clean and dry the plug.
