12 Things You Can Dangle on a Hook
What are the fish biting on down at the ol' fishing hole? Garlic flavored mice? Or pork flavored eels?
Patch has become fond of , Fenton's favorite sporting goods store. Though you won’t find any soccer balls or running shorts at this store, It has thousands of fishing lures and bait, both live and fake.
Here’s a short list of some of the more interesting items you can tempt the fish with this spring, all available at Denny Dennis.
Live, from the fishbowl. Goldfish sold at Denny Dennis aren't meant for a bowl. No, their fate lies at the end of a hook. If using old Goldie as bait is too weird for you, there are always minnows.

Diary of a worm: The last entry? “Gone fishing.” Traditional fishermen can find red worms, night crawlers and other slimy critters, kept fresh in the bait department's refrigerator.
Run Jiminy! Maybe if the crickets here knew how to spell encyclopedia, they wouldn’t be destined for a hook.

Mickey impersonator. Denny Dennis draws the line at selling live mice (and who wants to hook poor Mickey anyway?) but they do sell a pretty decent fake mouse lure from Live Target.
Smell that bait. Whether you want to attract fish or repel vampires, Bang can help with its garlic scented fish attractor in a can. Maybe spray it on the fake mice. Or toast.
Better than Starbucks. Apparently even fish like a cup of Joe in the morning. Strike King offers “Coffee Tubes” lures, with the apropos motto “death before decaf."
Snack attack bait. Uncle Tosh sells eel-shaped bait made entirely from... pork rinds. Yum-mee!
What Fabio fishes with. Uncle Tosh "Meat" bait says right on the package: "I can’t believe it’s not live bait.” Patch wonders if it’s fat free too?
What fish crave. Does "Slider" bait only work at 3 a.m.?
They won’t see it coming. Surprise fish with the Panfish Assassin. Tiny little garrote not included.
They call me "Mister Crappie!” The Slab Daddy lure looks all cute and fuzzy, but it's not.
Better than the real thing. Gulp Alive! bait is plastic fishy shapes soaked in smelly fish attractant. They say it looks alive, feels alive and tastes alive. We just wonder...who did the taste test?
