How do you go about softening your pork frogs?

I read this somewhere:

To soften pork chunks, put a few drops of glycerin into the jar a few days prior to use. But the softening process shortens the storage life of the pork, so you need to use them soon after doing this.

The only part I care about being soft and pliable are the legs. You doctor them by placing the bait on a flat suface with the meaty side looking up, then with the blunt side of a knife you "chop" ( don 't chop too hard ) starting at the meaty part all the awy down to the tip of the legs and then do the opposite, do it once or twice and the legs get soft.

Thanks guys.

Zel, I've heard of that too, but want my pork to last -I'm a cheapskate.

Raul, that's what I do now. But I end up cutting into the dye -looks bad. Maybe I need to take more time at it. I've tried bending and pulling by hand. I may have to do the rock tumbler thing -I can borrow one.

Thanks

Same here. Since I usually only use Big Daddy Frogs as trailer when I'm using porks, I soften the legs by folding them and pinching pretty hard every 2mm (give or take). I does break the skin a little.

When done properly it doesn't break the legs and it makes for very soft legs.

Thanks guys.

Just a matter of a little practice, I remember when I began chopping pork, I chopped in the full definition of the word with a lot of muscle before I got the hang of it which cost me several baits I left legless. :

Thanks, Raul and MaxDal.
