i agree with the stench philosophy a bit. I used liver and shrimp primarily....many years ago when i went catfishing. Since i left TN, i have moved toward using some type of minnow/small baitfish, dead or alive depending on state regs, for cats. The plastics available now, sure can replicate small baitfish very well anymore, and they are not 'real' expensive. I was just looking for a good sweetener (fish scent/oil/paste etc) to mask my human scent and entice more bites in the colder weather.
I remember letting the shrimp that i purchased setting out in the sun for a day or two, and getting nice and ripe before i used it....MAN it was nasty...lol. The stink baits seem to be somewhat costly compared to alternative catfish baits. You get a half pound of medium shrimp for what 4-5 bucks?? It's been a while.
I just know when i used the smelly jelly products in the past, i would get more hookups , than a few of my fishing buddies using the same lures and techniques. We were targeting trout though. I do not plan on catching any trout in TN on purpose...lol
