[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4095365, member: 50626"] All depends what you’re after. For smaller channel cats the worms/hotdogs/chicken products/dough and punch baits/etc all work fine. For blues in lakes, cut baitfish all the way. For flatheads, live baitfish all the way. My preferred catfish bait is nearly always cut baitfish of whatever species lives in the body of water. Be it shad, bluegill, green sunfish, bullheads, etc.. When going for flatheads I’ll catch a handful of green sunfish and hook ‘em live. I have also caught plenty of catfish on hotdog chunks and chicken chunks covered with garlic powder and koolaide mix. I also catch lots of smaller catfish while carp fishing with dough bait on a hair rig. The main thing is learn how to keep whatever bait properly secured on the hook with plenty of hook gap. I like 5/0 or 6/0 circle hooks for general catfishing I’ve never cared much for treble hooks and stinkbaits personally [/QUOTE]
