Best matches

Why these fit

These are the strongest matches if you’re looking to add catfish bait-holding options for dip bait, stink bait, or punch-style bait. The Magic Bait Green Bait Holder and Magic Bait Purple Bait Holder are simple pre-tied holders for stationary catfish fishing. The Magic Bait #6 Sponge Hooks and Magic Bait #6 Treble Spring are good when you want bait to stay on longer and keep scent in the water. The Magic Bait Green Big’n Bait Holders are a solid pick when you need a little more bait retention, especially in moving water.

Technique notes

Use these on basic bottom catfish rigs with enough weight to hold bottom. Load the holder or sponge with dip bait, then fish it still or with a light drift. In current, choose the bait holders that keep scent working longer and check bait more often. In slower water, the sponge-style options are especially handy for holding bait and scent.

When to switch

Switch to a trolling lure if you’re targeting offshore fish instead of catfish. If you’re fishing open water for tuna or mahi, the Fathom Offshore Bubble Trouble Small 5" Trolling Lure or Fathom Offshore Bubble Trouble Half Pint 4" Pre-Rigged Trolling Lure would be a better fit. If you want more commotion in an offshore spread, the Fathom Offshore Agitator Bird Bar is the teaser-style option.
