Cut bait can be one of the most effective catfish baits—but only if it’s cut and hooked correctly. I’ll show you how I break down bait fish, which pieces I keep, which I discard, and how I place each piece on the hook so it stays in the current without spinning or covering the hook point.

In this video, I cover:

• Why I cut bait instead of always fishing it whole  
• How I get five or six usable baits from one fish  
• Which cuts produce the best pieces  
• How I hook each piece for better presentation  
• How to keep the hook point clear and improve your hookups
