ugh, catching fish is so slow

I usually only have used lures with no attached bait.  I like worms, so I don't want to hurt them.  I have seen people use bacon though.  When I tried hanging on the meat, it would keep slipping off and it feels so greasy and it takes so long for me to get it on at all.  Has anyone else used bacon, and how I can do some faster baiting?

Ever since I had to face the disappointment of not catching a single fish on two successive fishing trips, I've decided to bring along an emergency frozen fish. If I can't catch anything, I'll simply attach it to my rod, let it soak a little, then hoist it out victoriously.
