Don't know about the paste, but the real worms are about as good a bait as you can find for catfish and panfish---have also caught one or two bass on them while bream fishing.

spreading it on live bait will work but you can even use it without live bait. simply wrap some cotton gauze or batten around the shank of a treble hook and then push the wrapped hook into the paste.the cotton will absorb the smell of the paste.There are ribbed plastic worms made specially for paste baits but the cotton trick does work, just make sure your hook points and barbs arent covered. good fishing.

fisher girl,
I never new they made such a thing. I know that catalpa worms are dynamite on cats so if this is actually catalpa ground into paste it may be good.

The paste will still work if it is thick, it is just some nasty, bad smelling, ooze, that the cat fish are attracted to. It really doesn't matter how thick it is.

Cut a piece of sponge into a 1" diameter ball,and push a medium size treble through it eye first.Tie it on your line,and add splitshot(s) about 4" above the hook(1' in current),as the sponge will float.Squeeze the paste into the sponge and start fishing.

i've used them and have had zero luck i feel thier a waste of money
