I used to use all beef hotdogs. It works great try it sometime.I got a chance to get on the water this past weekend and caught 6 catfish under 8 pounds, on chicken livers. If I could have gotten some fresh shad I feel like I could have probably got a 20-40 pound blue . I saw 6 being weighed in at the dock over 25 .
I use them, I’ve even done the cherry jello on hotdogs but it’s a sticky mess. And yeah hotdogs work pretty good. I think shad are probably the best bait around here but you just never know what they will eat. Ohh grasshoppers are awesome too.I used to use all beef hotdogs. It works great try it sometime.
Best bait though yes is cut bait
