Catfish Stinkbait Rig (Video Included)

Wade's World Fishing: Dip bait is a commercial catfish bait that comes in paste form in a plastic tub container. Dip bait is very pungent-smelling and is manufactured in a variety of flavors: shad, cheese, blood, etc. It is called dip bait because of how it is used. A special dip bait worm is the basis of this rig. The 1 ½-inch plastic worm has molded rings around its sides. It is rigged with a treble hook and stout line that is threaded through the worm for easy attachment to the main line. This worm is rigged as a simple float rig. Here is how to tie a dip bait rig.

• Purchase a selection of dip bait and dip bait worms.
• Run a sliding egg sinker up the line from the end.
• Tie a snap swivel on the end of the line.
• Clip the loop of monofilament on the dip bait worm into the snap swivel.
• Attach a float at desired length point on the line (above the sliding sinker).
• Lay the worm in the bait container, and use a pencil or stick to push the worm into the dip bait. Make sure the worm is well covered with the pasty mixture.
