I have noticed that you folks like to fish cheese-based baits and you have undoubtedly noticed that US guys like artificials. Here is a chance to combine them. The site is about a favorite catfish "stink bait" or "dip bait" that is put onto a plastic worm with lots of ridges to hold the dip. The language is a little of what we call "countrified" and the rigs may cause heart palpatations in the UK, the fish the speak of is one you don't have, but the idea is good and the bait is terrific. Take a look and see if you want to try a product from your cousins. http://www.in-fisherman.com/if_articles/Ca..._Dips-2205.html

what ARE you on ? bloody hell!!

Newt..That is some site!

"The catfish is a hideous beast,
A bottom-feeder that doth feast,
Upon unholy bait

Try, Rusty Ryans early pop-up attraction rig.

Devastating..

John - don't know if the saying translates but "don't knock it until you've tried it". My main "nuisance fish" when I use this stuff is carp. Hard to get catfish sometimes for all the bloody carp sucking up the dip.

I do not rig as shown there though - hate treble hooks for one thing. Also don't like rigs that stay with a fish if it breaks off.

Edited this post because I forgot to tell John that the second best use for the dip is to dry it and smoke it. Man, what a buzz!!!

Tell you what Newt, next time one of my country cousins (the pretty one)take a trip over the pond, I'm gonna get me some of that dipping bait. After all Barbel are only small catfish.

Just checked the site out,
It even tells you how to cook the fish in all sorts of recipes!!!!.
Wonder what Cajun Carp tastes like?.
ONLY KIDDING.
