Abstract
Abstract A cheese composition suitable for use as a fish bait is produced by techniques similar to those employed for the production of processed or blended cheese spreads. The cheese composition includes ingredients suitable for use in processed or blended cheese spreads but differs from such spreads by the inclusion of a high percentage of nonfat milk solids. The formulation is adjusted to maximize water content and minimize fat content thereby producing a fish bait composition of stiff consistency which can be molded over a fishhook and which will remain in place when it is moved through the water.
