Now that's using your head, I would have never thought about that.
What we do, I run "slider" baits during C/R season. For those that don't know what slider baits are; the line goes through the center "nose" of the lure. When rigged in this fashion the jellies have no where to collect.
When you pull your normal parachute bait, the jellies are most often caught right where the leader line is tied to the chute. The line and the chute form an angle and the "snot" runs down the leader line and stops right next to the chute. You either grab the leader line and shake shake shake until the snot falls off, or as Skip suggested, grab the chute from behind (grab the tail of the shad) and hold the chute upside down (point the head to the water) and the snot falls right off.
With sliders, there's no collection point
. The snot (for the most part) passes right over the hair (straight hair, not crinkled) without incident
