There are 10's of thousands of catfish anglers who seek catfish baits that will put them ahead of their competition. Well to find the best cat fish bait you need to understand how different species of catfish such as channel catfish and blue catfish make decisions on what they want to eat.

Catfish have over 175,000 taste buds all over their bodies. They also have multiple barbels around their mouths that ate used to taste and smell their food. Catfish also hear sounds at a much higher frequency then other game fish. Catfish and bait fish minnows hear better then even game fish like the mighty large mouth bass. The reason their hearing is so incredible is because they have weberian ossicles, which are bony structures that connect the swim bladder to the inner ear. There is also research that suggests that catfish have what all fisherman refer to as the "sixth sense". This sixth sense is found un very few animals. The six sense allows the catfish to detect weak electrical fields produced by living organisms, as well as some non living sources. This sense helps them detect prey in muddy or cloudy waters, and is why they can detect your catfish fish bait at night so easily. Catfish are extremely sensitive fish and if you can learn how to attract catfish with catfish bait that stirs there senses you will be amazed how much you can increase your catch of catfish.

If you really want to increase your chances of having multiple catfish attack your catfish bait then you need to learn the art of chumming. Chumming for catfish can be delivered in a variety of methods, but the main reason it is used is to arouse the catfish's sense of smell. Catfish like to roam for food so if you can get them to congregate around your chum location you will catch multiple catfish if you use the right catfish bait. There are a number of things you can use for chum but one of the best I have used with great success is all types of catfish guts and blood. When you are getting your cut bait together keep all the guts and blood and put it in plastic bags and tie them off. Next place them in a mesh bag and lower it to the bottom. Drop one catfish bait as close to the chumming bag as you can , and the other fishing rigs approximately 10ft away from the bag.

Well that concludes my article about catfish bait. I sincerely hope you have a the best of luck on your next fishing trip! Good Luck AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
