We started feeding AQ Largemouth pellets for our feed trained Bass this summer. Well we found out that the big catfish love it too. When the cats move in we "twist" a big pellet on a small but strong hook....no weight. It will float just like a regular pellet. We have caught numerous big cats (8 pounds +) on that rig. We usually give them a few days rest just to get them used to eating pellets again and it works great.
