These are the strongest matches if you’re looking for catfish bait. Magic Bait Big Blue, Magic Bait Chicken Liver, and Magic Bait Crawfish & Chicken Blood are ready-to-use scent baits for bottom-oriented catfish fishing in rivers, lakes, or ponds. Magic Bait Hog Wild – Blood and Magic Bait Hog Wild – Cheese are tougher dough-style hook baits that stay on longer and keep releasing attractant.
If you want a bait holder instead of a direct hook bait, Magic Bait #4 Sponge Hooks, Magic Bait #6 Sponge Hooks, Magic Bait Green Bait Holder, Magic Bait Green Big’n Bait Holders, and Magic Bait Long Shank Treble Spring are all built for dip bait or stink bait.
Fish these on simple bottom rigs with enough weight to hold position. For the bait holders, load the sponge or spring with dip bait and let it work in still or slow-moving water. For the dough baits, hook them firmly so they stay on during casts and slowly “milk off” scent.
Switch to a bait holder like Magic Bait Green Big’n Bait Holders or Magic Bait Long Shank Treble Spring if your bait is washing off too fast. Move to tougher dough baits like Magic Bait Hog Wild Balls if you need longer bait retention or bigger-catfish targeting. If you’re not specifically after catfish, a different lure category would be a better fit.
