Here is a recipe for eater sized blues and channel cats. I used this for a couple years and it is deadly.
One package of cherry jello,garlic salt and one pound of cheap hotdogs.In a sealable plastic bowl mix the jello according to the directions but do not refrigerate. Add about 2 tablespoons of the garlic salt and mix thorughly. Cut the hotdogs into 3/4 to one inch pieces and put into the mix. Let sit at room temperature overnight and they are ready to fish. When I go fishing I do put the plastic bowl in my cooler with ice. It will turn to jello but the hotdogs have already marinated good enough. This recipe also works with raw medium shrimp. Both are great baits.

I have seen it done with strawberry jello and the cats loved it great info thanks Cheez

Thanks for the tip. I never thought about the color difference.

Yep fellas i tried it today.. I caught like 5 eaters in like 45min.. I used Koolaid and garlic powder and i only let it marinade for like 30-45min though..
