RayburnGuy Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hey guys, Is anyone still making pork baits anymore or was Uncle Josh the last one to go? thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 i know strike king had some a few years back, but probably discontinued it. But this is a tackle building forum so I think making our own should probably be a good topic. I know alot of people think as pork for colder water, but i have always used real pork year round. If you can find the ones that float it always seemed better to me. it was a 50/50 chance for floaters with uncle josh. But if you have any old pork left, add a few drops of glycerin to the jar and maybe a little anise oil. that should keep them fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks Stretcher. I've done some research on making them, but this is for a friend and he said he would rather buy them if anybody was still making them. It doesn't seem that hard from what I've read. The hardest part seems to be scraping the fat off. The rest is pretty much just soaking them in brine and then dying them. The last two companies that I know of that were making pork rinds was Uncle Josh and Super Pork. I know that Uncle Josh went out of business and I can't find anything on Super Pork so I'm guessing they've gone out of business as well. My friend has a couple hogs to be butchered so I guess he's going to have to put on his pork rind making hat.

BobP Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ben, I think the last port trailer companies were Uncle Josh and Super Port, and both of them have stopped production as far as I know. You can see a few jars of Uncle Josh still for sale on Ebay at exorbitant prices. I actually have 5-6 jars of Uncle Josh and Super Port still sitting in my garage fridge. All are more than 5-7 yrs old but still OK as far as I can tell. Various colors and sizes. If your buddy is interested, send me a PM and I'll supply specifics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
