Ok, I just learned a great new bait for trapping bait.
Chewing Gum!
It attracts all kinds of minnows, but they don't eat it. Plus, it doesn't dissolve, so it lasts a long time and is not nearly as messy as dogfood or crackers. :)

Chubs are very good bait for bass and the like, big ones are great for Northern Pike. ;)
