FRESH BAIT//// the Japanese have used this traditional method of killing fish instantly to stop the fish from dying slowly. ever wonder why your shad work for blue's for a hour maybe 2 hours then no more bites well the reason is lactic acid forms in the fish flesh as it dies slow or is put in ice to die a slower frozen death. fish can smell this acid and know the meat is old and NOT FRESH. killing a fish when you catch IT BY THE IKE JIMEwill keep the flesh fresh on ice for about 10 days without turning white, or otherwise degrading.This is why all fresh fish from japan tastes so much better and fresh. LACTIC ACID IS OUR ENEMY. THE NEXT TIME YOU US DEAD BAIT TRY THIS TRADITIONAL JAPANESE METHOD THEN ICE YOUR SHAD OR WHAT EVER BAIT YOU US. as soon as the fish is landed, The brain is pierced with a sharp spike,or knife killing it instantly, then placed in slurried ice. (ICE WITH WATER YOU KNOW LIKE YOU US FOR REAL COLD BEER) Japanese IKE JIMEen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_jimewww.arkansasstripers.com/keeping_shad_alive.htmwww.cyberangler.com/articles/live_bait.html

Never tried it, but also have never had a problem with it. I got a nice 30 pounder Tuesday night on a shad body that I caught last March.
