cat food is a very cheap and easily obtainable bait. The type of cat food to be used is chunks in gravy as you can hook the chunks as you use luncheon meat. It can either be fished on the hook or hair rigged.
It is very good bait on commercial fisheries as all types of fish will take it especially carp, tench and bream. I have also had large roach using this method. Be careful how much feed you place in because some anglers have been throwing large amounts of cat food into commercial fisheries and the gravy forms scum on top of the water hence some commercial fisheries have banned this bait.
I would recommend any cat food in gravy but meat flavours seem to work best. The branded names of cat food seem to be better ie. whiskas. The best way to buy the cat food is in resealable pouches and peel back packs.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
(+) Cheap to do when done correctly, good results. (-) FEAR FACTOR - You will look silly if you do it without results. Difficult to carry a large amount.
Now I'd never have thought of using cat food to catch fish....hope not too many people use it at the lakes where I live.

Not a fisherman here, I'm afraid! Is it possible to buy meaty cat food that is not in gravy? this may prevent the scum and then the commercial fisheries may be none the wiser!

I'm not into fishing, but this was still an interesting review!
