tie a knot in the pantyhose, put your liver in there, and tie it up..

I've heard of people running a leader thru the pantyhose, and leaving the hook sticking out of the bottom. It gets them back futher in the mouth.

beef or calf livers work well and don't fall off.

me and my buddy threw out some jugs monday night and tore em up with some catapala worms and blue gill. we caught all our big flat heads on the blue gill. and a bunch of 2 pounder channels on the catapala worms.

Turkey livers are tougher than chicken livers. You may give them a try. Some guys this week used jugs and loaded the boat using some old deer meat that looked freezer burned.

I think they kept 63.
