Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap comes in resealable packages so the catfish bait stays fresh and pliable when you ready to use it. Our convenient resealable packages also won't break or crack while your fishing like others, leaving you searching the boat looking for somewhere to store your bait. Our Catfish Soap Bait comes in 1Lb Blocks. We sell our catfish bait in BAR FORM because catfish soap bait in bar form stays fresh longer so it will be there when you need it to catch catfish. Catfish Soap Bait sold in tiny little cut up chunks will dry out and fall apart and won't store over the long term.

FANCY PACKAGES ARE TO CATCH FISHERMEN AND NOT CATFISH. THE PROOF IS IN THE PRODUCT, NOT THE PACKAGING. OUR CATFISH SOAP BAIT WORKS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WASTE MONEY ON GIMMICKS TO CATCH FISHERMEN!

Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap comes in bar form and you cut the chunks of fish soap bait to the size of your own likings.A 1 Lb Bar of our Fish Soap Bait will make as many as 300 pieces of fish soap bait. Different catfish anglers have different preferences on the size chunk of catfish bait soap they use when fishing for catfish, that's just another reason we sell our fish soap in bar form and not in fish soap chunks that will dry out and not catch catfish from a flimsy container.

Lake Lewisville Catfish

My catfishing partner and I decided to try juglines at Lake Lewisville for catfish., we made three jug lines and went to set them out. On the way to the ramp my partner asks me what we are going to bait them with. I showed him the Rednecks Catfish Bait Soap and after he stopped laughing he bet me a case of beer that it would not catch a thing. Being a non-believer, he picked up some shad and decided we would bait the top hook with shad and the bottom with soap. The juglines were in the water only 90 minutes due to incoming weather when we decided to pick them up. Top hooks had one small blue cat less than 2 pounds. Bottom hooks had one blue catfish at 4-1/2 pounds and one fine 14 pound catfish. Being in late June 2003, it was hot and that beer sure tasted good.

About Redneck, Catfish Bait Soap and Fishing for Catfish

 

My name is Chad Ferguson and I am the manufacturer of Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap. Here's a little about me.

First and foremost, everyone always wants to know why they call me Redneck. Well, it's just one of those things that someone calls you, and it sticks and everyone starts calling you that. I started up about 5 years ago and just stuck with me. Half the people I know don't even know my real name anymore, so everyone just calls me Redneck.

I grew up in the outdoors hunting and fishing and camping has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I grew up as a child at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas fishing with my father and grandfather on a continually basis, and I guess that is where my love for fishing began. As a kid I would spend hours on end fishing at Possum Kingdom Lake for Catfish, and Perch. We had a boat dock there at the lake and I would set Yo-Yo's on the boat dock for catfish, and help run trotlines for catfish, somebody was always fishing around there either out in the boat or on the boat dock so there was always something to be involved in.

My interest in fishing and camping continued throughout my teenage years and I kept fishing every chance I got. I used to spend time fishing Eagle Mountain Lake, Possum Kingdom, Grapevine and Marshall Creek from a 14 Ft Flat bottom Jon Boat and spent lot's of time running trotlines and juglines fishing for catfish, and I even chased some bass and crappie now and then.

As I got older my interest in fishing for Catfish increased and I spent more and more time catfishing and less time trying to catch bass and crappie. I had always enjoyed catfishing more than anything else, so I eventually ended up selling off my fishing lures and light duty equipment and traded up to start fishing for catfish only.

Many years later in 2001 I started the Texas Catfishing Resource, and internet site that was dedicated to promoting and exchanging information on fishing for catfish. The Texas Catfishing Resource was an immediate success and is the first and only organized group of Texas Catfish Anglers. The Texas Catfishing Resource currently has about 1100 active Texas Catfish Anglers as members and is still growing everyday.

I started spending more and more time running trotlines and juglines and was always in a pursuit of trying to find enough bait for my trotlines and juglines, which was a never ending battle. The more I fished for catfish the more bait I needed. I tried the big commercial baits sold in bait and tackle stores and never had any luck so I set out to find a viable solution to my problem of not having bait for my trotlines and juglines.

Way back when, people were poor and they depended on catching catfish from the rivers, lakes and creeks to feed their families and P&G Soap (Proctor and Gamble Soap) was a common staple catfish bait among southern catfish anglers. They used to cut this soap into chunks and use it as bait and it was a true phenomenon among cat fishermen. Folks were using this P&G Soap all over the place and catching tons of catfish with it.

I remembered running trotlines as a kid and using my family's homemade soap bait as catfish bait, but could not remember anything else about it. I then learned that although most soap baits were homemade back then a commercial soap called P&G soap was often used as a fish soap. After doing some research and asking I learned that the famous P&G Soap that was so often used as a catfish bait was no longer being made. I had several people tell me about another commercial soap that people were using now as a catfish bait. I went and bought 30 bars of it.

The first time I used this commercial fish soap I set 100 hooks with it. I was immediately disappointed because it did not have that distinct smell like catfish soap bait we used as a kid. I was even further disappointed when I tried to use it. It was so hard that I literally had to drill holes in the soap bait to get it on the hook, and when I did get it on the hook, it crumbled and fell apart into pieces and would not stay on the hook. I knew immediately this was not catfish soap bait. That night we finally managed to get those 100 hooks baited with the commercial soap, we left them out all night and only caught 2 fish, nothing like the results. I tried this commercial soap 2 more times with the same results, very few or no fish, so I threw the remaining 25 bars in the trash.

I then did some digging and asked around my family, and with a little hard work we finally found some answers, my family's old soap bait recipe. It was a little hard to read and there were some ingredients that would have to be tracked down but within a week or two I was mixing up my first batch of catfish soap bait from my family's old fish soap recipe.

I messed up a lot of bait, trying to learn how to make my family's old recipe but eventually, I figured it all out and I had my first batch of the family's old catfish soap bait and had set out to the lake to test it out. I was already excited before we ever fished with it because the fish soap was just like I remembered, the same smell, the same texture and everything, it all brought back old memories.

We fished for three nights with my family's old catfish soap bait and had caught so many fish the three of us had caught our limits each night and ended up having to cull fish to keep from going over the limit.

My fishing buddies were amazed and they ended up taking almost all of the remaining fish soap with them to use the following weekend, and again had the same results.

I kept making the catfish soap bait and was using it myself and it was not long that my friends and other people around town were calling me asking me for soap bait. I started making a little more fish soap above what I used for myself and would give it to people that wanted it when they called or came by the house.

It was not long that it got so bad I never had any fish soap bait for myself, and every time I wanted to go fishing for catfish with trotlines or juglines I never had any fish soap bait because I had given it all away. Plus it was getting expensive giving all that catfish bait soap away all the time.

I finally decided I would just start making more of the family's catfish soap bait and would sell it to the locals and my friends when they wanted some out of my house. That would keep things from being so expensive giving away fish soap all the time.

Well, it did not take long that more and more people were calling me and asking me about the catfish bait soap all the time, wanting to know where they could buy it and how to use it. Word was traveling fast about my family's old catfish bait soap, because there were people all over Texas and Oklahoma that had been using and hearing about this catfish soap bait. I had also been selling some of the bait to members of the Texas Catfishing Resource and they had been using it with great success and word was traveling around on the internet.

Finally, things were so out of control with the phone ringing all night every night my wife and I decided to go ahead and put a website together for the catfish soap bait and start making MORE of the catfish bait than we had in the past, and start accepting orders on the internet. It was not long and www.catfishbaitsoap.com was born.

With the addition of our website, Rednecks Catfish Bait Soap was an instant success and people in all fifty states were ordering our catfish soap bait and having great results with it. Business just continues to grow every month as more and more people begin catching catfish and spreading the word about all the great blue catfish and channel catfish they were catching.

We still make the catfish bait soap today just like it was made 65 years ago. We still make our catfish soap bait one batch at a time in Saginaw Texas, and we still use the same catfish bait ingredients that were used back then. Redneck makes all of the bait himself just like it was made back then, with a little help from his family in packaging the fish soap bait and shipping the fish soap bait.

It wasn't long after Rednecks Catfish Bait Soap became such a success that I starting toying around with the design of juglines. I was using bleach bottle jug lines and 2 liter coke bottle jug lines and got tired of not having any room in the boat. I would have 30 or 40 fishing jugs in the boat and there would not even be room to move around or stand up. I did have a great design using a 2-liter bottle, and it was even so good that In Fishermen contacted me and wrote an article about it in their catfish insider magazine but the storage of these fishing jugs was less than desirable.

I started toying around and testing different ideas for different jugline designs, and after trial and error and a lot of jug fishing, finally found a design that worked well, was durable, and easy to use. I made a mess of these juglines up for myself and started using them when I was jug fishing.

People began seeing them when I was at the lake and seeing them on the Texas Catfishing Resource and started asking about these Juglines, which had been coined "Redneck's Juglines". Just like the overnight success of Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap, people were calling and asking where they could buy these juglines for jug fishing. It was a unique design that nobody had ever used before, and the cost of these fishing jugs was much better than any other juglines that were available. We went ahead and added Rednecks Juglines for Jug Fishing to our internet site and the hundred of satisfied customers just took things from there.

About a year and a half later, we took our original jugline design and encompassed several other ideas that had been used on catfish juglines, and developed the Rednecks Fish On Flagging Catfish Juglines. Based on the Rednecks Original Jugline design, this fishing jug was just a little bigger, but there was one catch. It did a trick.

The Fish On Flagging Catfish Jugline is a fishing jug that alerts you when you have a bite or when you have a "fish on". The Fish On Flagging Catfish Jugline takes the guess work out of jug fishing because the jugline lays in the water while waiting for a fish it hit it, and when it gets bit or gets a "fish on" the jug flags, because a ballast trips inside the fishing jug and it stands on end alerting you to check your jugline. With the flagging catfish jugline all of the guesswork is taken out of jug fishing for catfish, because you know when a jug has a fish on or a bite.

During the midst of all this business with the Catfish Bait Soap and the Catfish Juglines, I was getting calls left and right from magazines, newspapers and such with people doing articles on fishing for catfish, and writing articles about my catfish bait soap and jug fishing. I was featured in several articles in national fishing magazines and in several newspapers. As a result of this media exposure I started getting a lot of phone calls from people wanting to learn more about catching catfish and fishing for catfish.

I finally decided to go ahead and move forward with something I had toyed with for a long time, becoming a catfish guide. I then launched North Texas Catfish Guide Service, offereing guided fishing trips for catfish only on North Texas area lakes. I offer guided fishing trips for catfish on Lake Lewisville, Cedar Creek Lake, Grapevine Lake, Eagle Mountain Lake, Lake Ray Roberts and The Brazos River. In addition to rod and reel catfishing trips and jug fishing trips, I also offere guided fishing trips for Trophy blue catfish.

A lot of people say I have catfish on the brain, but I just love what I do. I stay busy most of the time but I have a good time doing it! I still make time deal with my customers and answer all my phone calls myself. So if you want to call and ask any questions at all about my catfish soap bait, guided fishing trips, or you just want to call and talk catfishing, feel free to do so at any time at 817-306-0055. We would be happy to talk with ya.
