Catfish Dough Bait
Ingredients:
- Water
- Flour
- Something smelly such as garlic, cinnamon, sardines, cheese, anise, ground-up chicken livers or baitfish
Combine water and flour to make a very thick dough. The more flour you add, the thicker it will become. It should be thick enough to roll into small balls and stay on your hook. Next, add something smelly. See ingredients above for ideas.
You may want to separate your dough into different containers or plastic zip bags, so you can experiment with different smells.
