    Restoring flexibility to old jars of Super Pork split tail trailers ?

    Anyone have any tricks if this is even possible . The baits have been stored in full jars of the original solution but are no longer as flexible as before .

    Hammer or a meat tenderizer hammer. I use a hammer on my pork rind to make the tails thinner and flow better.

    I also remember seeing an old (1980s?) trick of making parallel cuts across the meat of the pork rind to give it more action.

    Get a inuit lady to naw on them a while.... if you have old jars, rinse well, and put new salt solution, use canning salt. I put mine in quart nalgene jars. I had cases of pork, all have been moved to the nalgene bottles. They are back making 11s, I doubt they will get to 101s, but I probably will have enough for my life time....

    Those 101s will go perfect on those maribou jigs you tied.

    I put them on the bucktails, normally 1/8 and 1/4 ibuse 11s. I pretty much fish the marabou with a piece of plastic to up the weight.
