Just wondering if anyone still uses Pork Rind as a Bass bait trailer on a hook, or other means?
Haven't seen or heard it talked about much in a long time.

I haven't used any, and with the current crop of flavored plastics, harder to find. Pork is the original salt filled chewy trailer and according to what one reads once in a while, it still works. Harder to find now and I admit I haven't looked myself, I just put on a bit of plastic, I.m lazy.

Hee hee....my dad still uses 'em. Uncle Josh pork rinds, let 'em dry up on the hook and you need side-cuts to get it off of there! I much prefer plastic.
                    

There still in use here in the N.E. There are many surfcasters that use bucktails tipped with pork rinds for Striped Bass.

Just Curious. I found a whole box of large Silver treble hooks and on the shaft there is a triangle built like one would hang a pork rind on it as an inticer. The treble hooks are probably the back or tail hook of some plug or crank bait from Yesteryear.

I still use them quite often. I have at least a dozen bottles. Uncle Josh brand. I really like the white/green dots color as my go to trailer. Use them on spinner baits, buzz baits, Johnson Sliver Minnow. I even use smaller ones on Daredevils. I like using solid colors on jigs. I take and squirt some fish formula into the bottles so they can soak. Not sure if it really helps but it sure can't hurt. I would be lost without them. I still use plastics somewhat.

I find jars of Uncle Josh and some other brands of Pork Rind in most Tackle boxes I buy. Usually I place them on my flea market sales table for 50 cents to $1.00 each

I have some old ones, but never use them. I like plastic trailers oin my jigs.

Darn, I guess there are some things that are exclusive to the South. Never heard of this before.

I always have a few jars of pork in the boat.
Its great for cold water and the fish tend to hold it longer than plastic.
A 1/4 ounce black jig and a black split tail eel is a Smallmouth magnet.

You've never seen Uncle Josh Pork, Captain? I don't use it as much as I probably should. I've had pretty good luck with jig n pig

Hey...aren't YellowBear and Hoss both from Washington too? Looks like you're odd man out this time cq.

The younger generation has missed out on a lot of the old baits.

CQ, check out the white elephant or Sportsmans.
Find a jar of black split tail eels and a half dozen black maribo jigs in 1/4 oz.
There will be a hole in the tip of the pork for the hook.
Give them a try on the river for the smallmouth.
As mo65 pointed out, you do NOT want to let them dry out they will get as hard as a rock.
You can keep them moist with a damp rag or a zip loc bag.
When you get ready to remove them just turn the pork 180 degrees on the hook and back it out.
