For the stink bait, we would fill a 55 gallon drum with fish guts and heads. Cover it up and leave it sit for about 10 months.

Fill a half-gallon milk jug, tie it to a tree and puncture the bottom with your knife. Yeeeooow!

My bait drums are 55 gallon drums with 12' chains. The entire lid is mesh.

As for actual bait stands, I'd take my drums chain them to a tree.

I used a "mash" of sorts. What ever grain I could get the cheapest and 1 gallon of corn syrup or simple syrup.

It will help the grain bind together and not just spill out of the drum.

The bears will toss the bait drum all over the place to get the grain to come out of it.

PS. Bakery items are great but are tough to procure in alot of areas.
