When It Comes to Catfishing Bait - Make Sure It Reeks

By George Bowman


What is it about catfishing that is so enjoyable? It could be the time you spend with your relatives and friends.

Or it could be the challenge of trying to figure out the most effective catfishing bait to catch that catfish you have always wanted. If you think finding the greatest catfishing bait has greatly challenged you, you're in the proper place!

The greatest type of catfishing bait, the type that is going to help you reel in that legendary big boy, is going do be the type that catfish feed on naturally. But what do catfish feed on in the wild? Use this tip-- the stinkier the bait is, the better.

Catfishes aren't really picky; they eat almost anything; from a self-made bait to a unpleasant-smelling rotting fish.

But even if they love to eat anything, live baits are their all-time favored meal.

It has been known to most anglers that using all sorts of live bait helps a lot in catching magnanimous fishes. Good live baits include:

Live perch

River herrings

Crayfishes

Live worms

Nightcrawlers

Minnows

Grasshoppers

Small frogs

You have to remember that catfish are highly sensitive to smell that is why unpleasant-smelling baits are very effective in catching them.

So when fishing with live bait, giveeach option a whiff with your nose.

Now see you have applied the rule "the stinkier the better!"

However, if you want to use bait other than live ones, you have to make certain it's stinky because it's always better if it's stinkier. Chicken liver, stink baits, marshmallows, shrimp, prawns, cheese, peanut butter mixed with cornflakes, and corn wrapped in bread are all very great choices for catfishing bait.

Soaking these non-living baits in olive oil would be a excellent help because this would make it stinkier. And an additional advantage of using these types of baits is that a lot of the time, they can completely cover the hook, which will lure in catfish who are hook-shy from too many catch and releases.
