SILURIFORMES
Catfish (or catfishes; order Siluriformes) are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which resemble a cat's whiskers, catfish range in size and behavior from the three largest species, the Mekong giant catfish from Southeast Asia, the wels catfish of Eurasia and the Piraíba of South America, to detritivores (species that eat dead material on the bottom), and even to a tiny parasitic species commonly called the candiru, Vandellia cirrhosa. There are armour-plated types and there are also naked types, neither having scales. Despite their name, not all catfish have prominent barbel. Members of the Siluriformes order are defined by features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of considerable commercial importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food. Many of the smaller species, particularly the genus Corydoras, are important in the aquarium hobby. Many catfish are nocturnal,[3][4] but others (many Auchenipteridae) are crepuscular or diurnal (most Loricariidae or Callichthyidae for example).

Shimano Tiralejo Surf Spinning Rod
The new Shimano Tiralejo Surf Spinning Rods are made with the all new Shimano C4S blank construction which utilizes high modulus blank and wraps 4 outer layers of 90 degree graphite. The C4S construction is a unique design that uses Carbon "C" a 4 layer process "4" and slit carbon tape "S" while using high modulus carbon "HM". THe rod is wrapped with an inner and outer layer of carbon tape over two layers of carbon pre-preg. This design significantly increases the strength of the rod but more importantly increases the recovery rate which in turn allows you to cast farther and more accurately as it helps eliminate blank twist when put under a heavy load. This new rod construction will increase the hoop strength for maximum pulling power without inhibiting the sensitivity.

Magic Bait And The Best Catfish Bait Options Today
Catfish can smell and taste the difference between a creek chub and a baby carp at 50 paces. In rivers, current carries both attractive and displeasing scents and tastes to catfish. In still water, catfish tend to move more, sampling the water for potential food.
They disregard most sensations, just as our ears, eyes, and noses tune out most incoming stimuli.The catfish baits that grab their interest are preferred prey or certain flavors that may hold innate attraction for certain catfish species.
Channel catfish are omnivores, consuming nearly all forms of animal and vegetable matter of appropriate size. Yet all savvy catmen know that the right catfish bait can mean the difference between a few fiddler cats and loading the boat.When choosing the best catfish bait, one constant question is whether to use a whole live critter, cut sections, or some type of artificial. Many predators at times clearly prefer active livebait. Among catfish, flatheads, particularly big ones, often prefer livebaits that live for hours on the hook and struggle to escape.
However, worms and cutbait catch catfish, too, as do home-brewed stinkbaits vile enough to turn a vulture’s stomach. Dips, doughs, chunks, and other prepared baits offer convenience, reduce waste, and increase your catches. We sifted through the options to bring you the following 14 picks for hooking whiskers.

It even dons a convenient carrying handle, which might remind you of bringing a fish-catching-lunch-box to a day of work on the water or ice.
Frabill Crawler Can
-
Feed earthworms daily or adjust to management program.
-
Sprinkle feed and water lightly over earthworm bed, and adjust the amount of feed to what the worms will consume daily.
-
If composted organics are used for bedding, decrease the feeding rate. Do not overfeed, which may lead to sour, moldy bedding.
-
For best results, turn or stir bedding at least once a week, and keep the bedding loose and well-aerated.Mix ~5% calcium carbonate into the bedding each time it is turned, but do not sprinkle the calcium carbonate (limestone) directly on the feed or the worms.
Storage Conditions
For best results, store contents of open paper sack in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75°F or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Adhere to the “Best if used by” date or use within 1 year of bag manufacturing. DO NOT use moldy or insect-infested feed.

Pautzke Catfish Nectar
Catfish Nectar is a scent that needs to be soaked, enabling it to penetrate into the meat of the bait it’s being applied to. That soak can be effective in as short as 30 minutes, but works best if you give it half day. On the other hand, we started using the bait within two hours. Since we fished from 9am to 6pm, our afternoon baits were ripe and ready to fish.
