You can use a chunk of fish but it's a little more cruel and it's so much easier to pick up a bag of corn then chop up fish pieces, and there are many restrictions as to what fish you can use as bait or not. And I don't think it would be as effective as corn, dough, worms or these fishbites baits.

It depends on which species of catfish you are targeting. If you are after bullheads, you're right.

If you are after channel catfish, or other more predatory species such as blue catfish or flathead catfish, it's hard to beat a large chunk of whole baitfish, or even a live baitfish.
