The small shiner minnows that you get from Sportsmans or other
Stores we take and cut about a 1/4 inch piece off and hook it through the skin on both sides. Your right they only last a cast or two.
I have found that if you lob your cast it stays on longer. However if you jerk to set the hook it comes off as well. Even better is if you get a chub and use fillet pieces that are about 1/4" by an inch or so. The chub skin is allot thicker and does not come off hardly at all, and I can usually catch 3 or 4 fish or so on one piece.
The other option is to take and tip them with night crawlers. About a half inch piece threaded on the hook works good. I like the chubs best though.
