I had a chance to use it on some Gizzard Shads that Dave and Sherry brought along. I witnessed some fish being caught on the rasberry and the strawberry. I was tempted to put a garlic flavored one on a Ritz cracker and eat it but didn't. Me and Dave went and got pizzas instead.

My opinion is still up in the air.

I fished amongst a crowd of jello marinated bait the other night and I caught a nice channel cat on a regular old chunk of goldeye. No one else was catching fish.

My opinion is that a cat is going to take that bait regardless. However, I need a little more time than a few nights to really form an opinion.

thats a honest opinion, there are lots of bait choices, it's pretty hard to just zero in on just one.

After a few nights of fishing(5) with flavored shad, I did learn a few things. Some flavors definately work better than others, and some dont work at all. I dont know if I would go as far as a flavored bait working better than the natural choice bait(shad), but there were a few times the flavored bait seen consistent action when a couple other lines were dead with natural.

In other words, the flavored bait definately worked in some flavors and they would be baits I would have confidence in.

I am not in love with them so much I will always have them along while fishing, but I think the flavored baits might have other bonus to catfishermen that are stuck using less then effective bait.. I am sure they would work better with some flavor in a pinch... For example.. Suckers usually dont work to well around here, but with the addition of a proven flavor, it would probably up the productivity of a usually non-productive bait to put some extra fish in the net.

i could not of said it any better than you just did, it is just another option for the catfisherman when the choice of bait is not there that they want.
