Catfish are powerful predators with a varied diet. The right bait choice can make a major difference, whether you fish static, drift a bait or combine scent and movement to draw fish into your swim.
Natural bait and high-attraction options
Worms, fish-based baits and strong-smelling attractors are popular choices for catfish. Worms create natural movement, while high-oil pellets and strong liquids release scent over a longer period.
Pellets, dips and flavours
Large fishing pellets, flavours and dips and suitable hookbaits can be used to build a strong scent trail. For natural moving bait, see our live bait selection where local rules and venue rules allow it.
De Goeie Vangst offers catfish bait and attractors for anglers who want strong scent, reliable presentation and practical options for different waters and techniques.
