dough bait is crap. People forget that catfish are predatory. I medium size bluegill hooked through the back will bleed and thrash around. Not only does it smell like normal catfish dinner it also creates vibrations for the catfish to hone in on. The only bait better than a live bluegill is live shad, but live shad are tricky to obtain and keep alive.
Never caught not one damn catfish off of any dough baits. If I had to use something I could buy in the bait shop it would be frozen shrimp

Dough baits work in some places and don't in some. The fish in different places have different taste. For me the best time to use a dough bait are punch bait ( I like Danny Kings ) is early spring. If the water you fish in has shad are herring I would say to use those instead of doughbait. Chicken liver is also a good bait.

I have never used it, but have heard that it does not work well for catfish. Catfish prefer a live or more rancid smelling bait. Dough bait works well for carp.

The only place I've ever had luck with dough bait is fishing by the dam on Truman lake in Warsaw, MO. Anywhere else I've tried it I haven't caught anything with it.

In my opinion that stuff is just a bunch of wast products someone rolls into little balls and calls them catfish bait. don't even bother with it. Freash cut bait is hands down the best.

It is OK but Blood bait is better.
If you stick with Dough add Garlic juice and cotton to stick together

We use that stuff sometimes and it never works. I think I've used the blood kind...so no, i'd say your best bet would be to use some liver or cutbait.

Best when mixed with blood.
Use some blood from fresh meat.
Better when aged a while and stinks like hell.
