A dough ball made from a duck egg, white bread, and dirt molded to a wire crappie hook and a fly pole and dropped in a fallen tree is a very small pond in a campground I used to live in. Caught old Gotcheye, a 10# one eyed channel that lived there. Of course, like all named fish, he was released. The pond, located at the intersection of I20 and US59 is gone now, replaced by an IHOP and a Motel.

Bubble gum. Back in the late 50's at Lake Kickapoo in Northwestern Archer Co., a friend caught a good catfish on a perch hook baited with bubble gum. So we said what the heck and put some on larger hooks and we caught a tow sack full of channel cat between 1 and 2 pounds. clap

Flour Tortias.
Get them a little wet and ball it on them.
Still use it at times and it works or
Put a little of your favorite dip bait between two pieces and you got a catfish burrito.
Wham!

When i was a kid my dad would put shrimp in a bag with some water and let it sit out in the sun for a few days. We'd then take this bag with us and bait our hooks. My dad called it "Stinky Shrimp", to which I replied "Really?" barf

I have caught plenty on bare silver colored hooks on trotlines. I ran out of bait one night and left the whole string bare. By morning we had a nice mess of channel cats. Not sure if it was the flash of the hooks or the smell of being baited earlier that day.
