I have had some success with: BACON GREASE & GARLIC CLOVES

- Just pour the BACON GREASE into a jar and mix in several cut up CLOVES of Garic.
Makes a nice paste (Longer it sits out in warmer temps the stinkier it gets). Put back in the fridge to make a thicker consistancy.


Hope this helps.

I've had luck using chicken livers on a hook and I've read that frozen shrimp once thawed work well also.

* if your not using the "Plasitcs" at first mentioned, Staffman has it right on.
I would also reccomend:

- Cut suckers or Chubs

Chicken livers are all I use at night, let them sit in the sun for a few days, that will make them nice and stinky, you cant beat it.

when you guys say cats do you mean like the ones we have in the uk- europe? if so big halibut pellets work a treat!! dunno if you can get them over there? also livebaits used on a certain rig are deadly for them..
