• 1 can whole kernel corn blended in a blender.
• 1 cup crushed Wheaties or bran flakes
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup cottonseed meal
• 1 cup black molasses

To this mixture you can add a flavoring. I usually make a ball of bait that is flavored with vanilla, one with strawberry, and one with anise, and one with no extra flavoring. Mix all these ingredients in a bowl and add flour to thicken until it is at the right consistency to stay on the hook.

• 4 slices white bread
• 1 handful cottonseed MEAL enough CHEAP vanilla flavoring to moisten mixture

Mix bread and cottonseed meal together and moisten with vanilla flavoring to roll this mixture into a ball. The mixture should be about like bread dough. Pinch off enough to cover a #12 treble hook. Keep the rest of the ball in a ziplock bag .Can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.
