Many anglers find this bait to be challenging, because it's difficult to keep on the hook. This is especially true when attempting to cast for distance. So let's conquer this together!
First, the hardware. I recommend a size 2 hook.
Next up, tear off a section of the frank that's anywhere from a half inch to an inch.
Now let's thread it on the hook, fairly close to the middle of the piece.
Keep threading!
Now turn the piece 90 degrees.
Now just gently pull/push the hook up until the bottom is up against the weenie.
Notice that both times we pierced the frank, we went through the outer casing first. It's much stronger than the meat. See the difference?
Follow these steps, and most likely you'll end up with some nice channel cat like these!
If the cat are biting slow, you can tear a small piece of frank off and put it on a small hook, size 6. Just make sure you pierce the casing. Then gently cast a few feet off the bank, and hold on tight!
All fish were released. For goodness sake, use the cheap hotdog weenies that are less than a dollar a package. Don't use the good stuff that should go on the grill and then in your mouth! Also, make sure your reel has no tangles that will stop the hook in mid-air as you cast.
Tight lines!
