I find their fingers work best on a 2/0 to 4/0 weedless hook, depending on how old the kids are. Try to keep them fresh so theres still a bit of blood and scent and the fish will bite no probs.
They wont go messing with the jellies again!!

That's a waste of good bait on Pollock, much better for sharking.

Do you know that is possible to repair small tears or holes in most soft lures by heating a piece of metal such as a nail and rubbing the damaged area or by using the flame of a lighter directly on the body for a brief instant? Might be worth a try? You could try a soldering iron too if you have one handy. Who knows, you might become creative and find new killer colour combos :)
Or just use a product called Mend-it or Worm Glue and put the pieces together with the aid of that.
