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?

I buy my fish at the supermarket. I recommend Nile Perch. I saw a documentary (Darwin's Nightmare) about how this fish was imported to the Victoria lake and how it resulted in niggers who once survived on fishing now have to eat rotting fish heads. Quite amusing.
