I've tried fancy catfish baits on these devils, but honestly, up here in Washington, nothing works better than good old worms or nightcrawlers. Use a big hook: 4 or larger. That helps cut down on swallowed hooks. Fish deep (10 - 20 feet) and on the bottom, which has the added benefit of helping to keep other fish off your line. I use a small egg sinker above a swivel, to which is clipped a 1 to 2 foot leader to the hook. That lets me cast pretty effectively, but doesn't produce drag when the fish mouths the bait. They shy away from that.
They'll swallow a lot of hooks, so I like to have several of those hook-and-leader sets made up in advance, so I can just snip one off and fish on.
In my experience, bullheads often don't signal their presence at all, even after they've gobbed the hook. You start reeling in, and you've got dead weight on the line. You think it's a ball of weeds until the fish comes in sight of the dock, boat, or shore, at which time he wakes up and starts thrashing madly.
Anyway. Worms. In my experience. nothing works better.
Probably a worm. :)
Bait bands are for holding pellets to your hook. Hair rig bait bands are the best to use cause they come ready to use.

Artificial bait, lures and other objects that are not live bait that can be used to catch fish or other marine creatures such as shellfish. You could tie a snap swivel to the line and attach the hook to the snap swivel, if you are worried about tying a hook to a line.
If you have the right bait type for that rod in your inventory, it will bait and cast. Tubescraft
