Best catfish bait is piece of eel cut into about 3/4" square. Only problem is getting eel. Certain time of the year they migrate and you have to be there to scoop them up with a big dip net.
2nd best is live perch

I fish the upper Colorado river here In texas a few times a year with my Ex FIL. We kayak up to a few holes from
His river house and walk the bank with fly swatters slapping frogs and grasshoppersto use But the golden goose is flipping over the flat rocks and finding helgermites (I’m sure that’s misspelled, but they are young dobson flys before they fly). The cats can’t help but to attack em. channel, blues and yellows all love em.
Live perch are prolly best if you’re just targeting yellow cats however, at least on that river.

Chicken titties are too expensive for me to eat so I sure aint feeding them to catfish which will eat anything. I took a .88$ bar s weenies and cut em into chunks pickled em in garlic and strawberry koolaid in the fridge for a month been using it for a year now who knows how many nice big river cats I done caught and still have some. I bring 8 lil pieces with me come home with plenty cat fish with a few pieces left over.

Chicken livers have always worked, if you can get them to stay on the hook..
Take a spool of thread with you and wrap a few times. Just wrap, don’t need to tie. Chicken livers are the best.

Danny king punch bait on treble hook with a 10-12 inch leader and 1/2 oz barrel weight on top of swivel. Never fails for lake blues and channels.

Wrap the livers with thread after you put it on the hook. around a 8" of thread will do it.

Channel Cats - Fresh cut bluegill
Baby Channel Cats - cricket on the bottom around deeper structure
Flatheads - baby channel cats
This is rod and reeling in GA lakes. I've never jugged or trotlined in any meaningful way.
I have never in my life had decent luck with the storebought catfish baits aka stink baits aka blood baits etc, and I have been through many bags of them, hoping they would work. Maybe bad luck or maybe they just don't work. Just my experience.

Hotdogs or Vienna weenie. Worms.
At my great-grandpas farm he had a catfish pond way down a hill. An 8 pack of red hot dogs, a cane pole, or an old Zebco, and we'd catch enough for dinner pretty quickly.

A little kid from back of the tracks would pick through the dumpster at a restaurant by my Dads house. He would load up on catfish using french fries.

Damn things bite on plastics these days... not the catfish you are looking for though...
I actually have caught several big catfish with crank baits while bass fishing.
