What do you find the best bait for catfish? I always just catch them on Powerbait crappie nibbles on a plain hook.

I have had great success with Stubby's using a #4 treble and no weight one turn up from the bottom . Throw a couple handfuls of 20% range cubes beside the boat an have fun catching.

You wanna catch fish, use " Stubby's Cheese Bait..

Nothing is better for blues than fresh chit shad, period. I avoid channel cat like the plague but if you're after them then any dough or punch bait works.

Fresh cut shad for blues. For channels I prefer Sure Shot punch bait. You can get it www.catfishbait.net

I catch a lot of channel cats on Danny Kings Garlic or Blood Punch bait. I bought a jar of Stubbys last week and sadly am not impressed... yet? Is there more than one flavor of Stubbys? He sent me one that says garlic but see people saying cheese. I put 2 rods side by side last time I went. One with Stubbys garlic and one with DK blood. Catfish were not biting well, but managed to catch 3 in about 30 minutes. All 3 were caught on DK blood bait. I will continue to try Stubbys and hope it starts working better for me. As many fishers on here that brag about it, it must be good, maybe I got a bad tub or something.

CJ's punch bait is the very best. It catches blues and channels. 45,000 fish in one guides boat proves it.

all my bait is made the same ,there is days out there when it tough,there all a lot off good baits out there and Danny's is one of the best.As I say if you don't like it let me know I will refund money I stand behind it 100percent ,Thanks for the report that what I want to here good or bad.Sorry it didn't work for you

Over the yrs I figured out fish dont bite where there aint no fish, 30 min on a spot no bites MOVE then repete till ya find um

I give it 20 most then i move and chum chum chum i give them 20 mins of fined if if there not bitting by then or the bit is slow i move every trop the past 2-3 weeks have all had there limits by 2 that 50-100 fish plus what every I caught

Ex

On Sam Rayburn I use live bait for Blues and whopper shad stink bait for the channels

Cut shad always.

Shad.

Side by side, I fish with homemade punch bait and catalpa worms two rods side by side with the same bait same depth and 6" apart one will catch and one will not even get a nibble so don't let that keep you from using a good bait like stubby's chems, CJ's DK's they are all alot better than some of the packaged baits.
