Has anyone Tried the Alkaselzer trick?

[Bassblaster]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the saltwater arena but I've never heard of anyone trying an old bass trick on other species.

I know you guys often use the rubber Squid lures, I think you call them Hoochies?

A bass fishing trick is to stuff the inside of a rubber tube jig with pieces of Alkaselzer tablet large enough so they fit tight inside the tube body. When the lure hits the water it creates a stream of bubbles behind the lure that can make the difference between a strike and an ignored lure.

Has anyone tried this tactic on Salmon and other fish species?

Haven't tried it.....sounds interesting, but on a longer troll with your line down 20'-200' I would doubt that the "Seltzer" would be in there too long. [8D]

Now....the old Alka Seltzer "Morning Relief" (aka hangover remedy) that is now no longer available at your local pharmacy was wonderous if you woke up in the morning feeling like a squid that's been on a hot rock in the sun for 12 hours.
