[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 120742, member: 432"] Chicken livers work well. They do fall apart easily. Wrap them in a small piece of panty hose to keep it together as much as possible. Chicken gizzards stay on the hook better, but are not quite as appealing to catfish although they work well also. If you are wanting larger catfish, use larger bait like cut bait, bluegill heads or whole bluegill. I like a heavy slip sinker on the mainline and a stronger leader on about the last two foot. I like circle hooks because the fish tend to hook themselves using them. My large catfish rod has 80lb PowerPro braided line with a 130lb mono leader. I cast it out and set the bait clicker. When a fish hits the clicker will start screaming. [/QUOTE]
