the easiest catfish bait that I have ever used that actually works is some of the cheapest hamburger you can find in a 1 lb package and mix it with linburger ( spelling) cheese , might want to considerputting latex gloves on and mixing it that way , sometimes they hit it right away other times it might take a little bit but I have caught catfish up to 20 bls using this stuff .... take it and roll it into ping pong ball size balls and mash it around your hook really good and it works.... hope this helps
If you are going after flathead catfish then I recomend using live bluegill about the 4 inchj size IF they are legal to use in your state .
If you are going after blue catfish then you need to buy yourself a good throw net and catch some shad or skip jack and cut them up in chunks ( always try using the section where the gut pocket is.. I always have better luck using that part for blues , I have caught some true monsters using this )

never liked messing with dough baits or any thing like that. All I use is chicken liver, night crawlers, minnows, etc are all good channel cat baits.
