how do you do that?

Ran out of bait one night last winter and was on a good bite with no money to buy more bait. So I just took some pink yarn and tied a Snell knot and put about a golf ball size ball of yarn on the hook. Soaked it with krill, herring, and sand shrimp scent. Ended up catching 2 undersized and breaking off a bigger one. Fishing your local sturgeon river
