I've got some Chicken breast and am thinking of getting me some Linburger cheese cubes to attract Catfish. What do you think?

Might work Lonny. I've never tried it but it will catch a crab in salt water.

Bait shrimp works the stinkier the better, so limburger cheese will probably be a shoe in for sure😮🥺

Cozy guy i crab with used legs or wings. Some use bull lips. I never saw them but guys said they worked. Most didn't use them because they said when line came over roller the lips would sling mud everywhere

As most of you know, I use WD-40 for catfish scent. This year I cut up a bunch of chicken breast and marinated it in WD. I used one pole with chicken and one with shrimp this year at Utah Lake. The chicken did slightly better.

Chicken breast works great for me. I mix garlic powder with the cut up breast in a baggie. Lot of people think you need stink bait to catch catfish not true. Why use something that smells if you don't have too. I use chicken, hotdogs, fresh liver, and worms and it all works for me.

Chicken anything works, adding scents or not, breast’s give bigger bait for bigger fish, shrimp more expensive but works great, with shrimp or any bait harder to keep on hook. Use an egg loop knot on your hook and wrap the loop over your bait after hooking it.

Anything rotten and stinky will attract catfish from chicken livers left out in the heat to fish guts to cheese to believe it or not cut up squares of ivory soap for trot lines or single lines left in water over night

If you use chicken livers let them sit out and good and smelly. Works Everytime. I have caught at least 50 cats using chicken livers. Good luck and tight lines.

Chunk up a chicken breast into catfish bite size pieces(don’t have to be big). Put in a quart size freezer bag and add a generous amount of strawberry Koolaid and some powdered garlic and mix well. Let it sit in the fridge. That’s it. Catches catfish without fail. There are tons of variants and additions but this basic formula catches catfish here in SC and NC so it should catch them anywhere.

About the only thing I use is chicken breast with strawberry kool-aide and garlic powder. have tried shrimp but no luck so far. Gonna try it more till the bag is MTY. Everyone say's shrimp is great just hasn't worked for me. Have tried chicken liver on bull heads and don't care for it. Very hard to keep on the hook! Got some recently to try making bags for but not really excited about it. Just seems like to much work to me and being retired, I despise work! years ago when I burned out on chicken liver I tried beef liver on bull heads and it worked great and stayed on the hook really well. hard for me to find any more though. I found calf liver but about as hard to keep on the hook as chicken liver!
As good as chicken breast works for me I suspect any other chicken part would too!

Have heard about the ivory soap, I wonder why it works
