    i was jsut doing some sorting and I came across a package of berkley power bait, catfish nuggets, has anyone tried these, do they work or should I jsut throw them out?
    I can’t even remember when I bought them, but I would bet it was at least 6 years ago, and yet I have never used them
    just wondering what others think

    I like them with eggs and catsup.

    I’ve never had any luck on the packaged baits. They are good for catching small cats and bullheads, and the occasional carp, but for big cats I like to stick with natural baits (cutbait, livers, etc.).

    That’s just my experience.

    Give ’em a try Ben. If you don’t get bite in 10 minutes move.

    However if they don’t stink when you open the package…place them on your exhaust manifold while your engine is running to get the smell back.

    Seriously, give them a try.

    i tried almost all of them and had no luck. natural bait is the best. i like to use cut smelt. maybe its because they smell bad and they are oily.
