for catfish you should use hot dog or a catfish soap bait, i make a killer catfish soap bait but i am sorry i can’t tell you how to make it because i sell it.but i can tell you this.

One of the best baits I ever found for carp fishing is a dough ball made from Nabisco shredded wheat biskets. Just soak a bisket in water and keep squeezing it until it makes a dough. It will out fish any dough on the market

well its rily easy. Don’t put any weights or floats on the line, basicly, just a line and a hook. then hook a big piece of bread and let it float. the carps, ye dun hav to worry if their mouth are too small, cuz the just chomp down anythin in their way when its food. gd luck.

for carp i use corn flakes with strawberry jello and vanilla and a little syrup make balls out of them they will work the best try it for catfish i catch some bluegills scale them fillet them but leave skin on it will stay on hook better that way cut the fillets in chunks thats the best i found
