The best bait is chicken liver but in Florida you need minnows.

The catfish has a good sense of smell. The baits that are the most effective are called "stinkbaits" because they give off a strong scent. Typically, mackerel is used as a cut bait because the fish gives off oils. Man-made baits often include bloods of various types, garlic and some flour to bind the combination together.

I recently discovered that in the rivers around N E Ohio catfish LOVE hotdogs.

I use chicken liver but i have used a bettle spin and have suprisingy caught 2 on them. One of the best bait is at Walmart is lil stinker or chicken blood and liver
