1st test of the Triple S/formerly Sonny's was an absolute lights out slobberknocker. Caught 10 cats in 45 minutes and missed that many. Could really only fish one rod even though I stubbornly tried with 2! Thank God they didn't go out of business!

I ordered up a 3.5 gallon (20#) bucket of Triple S original formula (formerly Sonny's) from Zeiner's bass Shop in Texas. It arrived Saturday. It was $128.00 with shipping so not cheap. However, if you figure it out per 14.5 jar, it is about 1/2 the cost for the amount you get. Pretty good deal in the long run. This will probably last me about 2 1/2-3 years. I saved an old Sonny's 45 oz pail to refill as it is impractical to carry that bucket everywhere. It smelled exactly like the old Sonny's so I'm sure it will work great.

Prairie du chien out along the mississippi.

(319) 878-3100 was Sonny's number in 2016. I got a form from them this year so they are selling it under the triple s name. Best bet is to get a hold of them and get it straight from the source.

Well, you got me checking online and I learned a bunch. Sonny's is not out of business but you won't find it called Sonny's Super Sticky anymore. It's called Triple S brand channel catfish bait, still made by the Hootman brothers. They are building a new manufacturing facility. You can only get the 20 pound tubs for now.
