Do they work well for cats, if you have them, or are other baits better
? like liver or cut bait ?

On a 2 inch crayfish, I would start the hook from the bottom of the tail
about 1/4 of a inch in front or the rear fin. True to the top side of the
tail.

Crayfish are excellent for catching the smaller channel and flathead
catfish. We have used them a lot. As a bonus, we sometimmes pull a nice
smallmouth out of the river on them too! We catch them in a local creek
using a long handled fine mesh net like the bait shop uses in theiir big
tank. Sometimes, we also use a seine. The smaller Ohio river cats average
around 5-8 pounds, so an afternoon or evening catching them is great fun!

catfish bait is the hog wild catfich bait any good Are any of the dippin baits any good tnx slld

Best bait of all for Cats and Bullheads Ive tried livers, blood baits, cheese baits, etc... But nothing seems to catch cats better then crawfish or Is this true for everyone ?

Will Catfish grab bait off the bottom? I'm pretty new to catfishing and was wondering, If my bait happens to be resting on the lake bottom, will catfish pick it up? or does it need to be suspended in the water for the best effect?

Dip bait question Hi, I am planning a 4 day fishing trip next week and plan to try Premo blood flavored dip bait and Big Bite Extreme liver and cheese flavored dip bait. Has anybody here had any luck with these? Thanks, Roger

the best stink bait - guaranteed This works especialy good for ice fishing but can be used in august to Get yerself a quart canning jar. if you don't have one an empty clean mayonaise jar works to now get yerself a lid an a pint of chicken livers wash the jar and the chicken livers well
