Our bait soap bar will make anywhere
from 75 -200 or even more pieces of bait depending on how big a chunk you
have to use(it depends on the size of the hook). Bait in the bar form stays
fresh longer than bait stored in chunk form, that's why we let you cut it
yourself! |
Our catfish bait soap has a consistency
that won't cause it to flake apart or crumble when you put a hook in it
at your favorite catfish fishing hole. Our catfish bait stays on the hook
very well, making it an ideal jugline and trotline bait. |

Setting a Trotline - Fishing
With Trotlines
Setting a Trotline from Shallow
Water To Deep Water
Fishing with trotlines as previously mentioned is an easy and
effective way of fishing for catfish. Setting a trotline from shallow water
to deep water is one of the common ways to set a trotline. Setting a trotline
from shallow water to deep water is most often done in creek channels, rivers
or in lakes with an area near a steep dropoff. To set your trotline in an
area like this, you simply to your trotline to the shallow side first, tieing
off to a tree or stump or such on the shallow water side.Begin feeding your
trotline out towards the area your trotline will end and deploy a weight
about 1/2 way out, you will want to use at least several pounds of weight
in this area of your trotline. Continue setting your trotline past the weight
and when you get to the end you will want to add another weight. I suggest
this weight be very heavy, because this is what will hold the end of your
trotline in place.When you are at the end of your trotline, tie some twine
to your end weight and then knot the twine to the end of the trotline at
the depth you want your trotline to set from the bottom of the lake. When
you get the weight line and trotline end tied up, continue to feed twine
out until you have a length of twine that is the same as the water depth,
and then tie on your float. You should make sure your trotline is pulled
tight. Go back to the beginning of the trotline and cut your catfish bait
soap into chunks and begin baiting your trotline, you will need to bait
your trotline and keep it pulled tight at the same time, when you have finished
baiting your line with the catfish bait soap then you should keep pulling
tension on the trotline away from where you have tied on the shallow side
using the line that your float is attached to. Once the trotline is good
and right you should slowly let the weight down into place.
This is one of the more difficult methods of fishing with trotlines.
I do not reccomend this method of fishing with trotlines if you are not
experienced. Make sure you check your local laws in regards to fishing with
trotlines. Most states have laws pertaining to fishing with trotlines.
