Unusual Channel Catfish Bait - Soap - OldTimer - 09-19-2012 04:28 PM
Here’s a new one on me……… Now this I gotta try next spring when the big channel cats come in to spawn at Dunnville.
Ivory soap as bait.

Any of you fella’s ever try it?
Would be a lot easier and less messy than cut bait. Smells good too.
Cheers,
OldTimer

I saw those videos a while back, but thought it wasn't too environmentally friendly to add soap to the watershed.
Never tried it and don't know how well it works.

the bright side is after you catch your fish you can wash your hands with the bait lol

I did dome research on this a while back.... IRC everyone was recommending that it had to be a lye based soap to be effective and that most soaps nowa days don't use lye. I looked into finding a lye based soap and could not find anything either.
I'll check the links.

Old fashioned IVORY (the one that floats) is one that I have seen used.
