Cut Baits

Cut Baits are types of fish, crustaceans or other live baits that have been cut up to be used as bait.
Many anglers will store their cut bait in the freezer, while others buy it frozen from the store or bait shop
and some anglers prefer catching live bait and cutting it up for bait as they need it to ensure their bait
has the scent of a fresh bait. Cut baits are very common and effective baits for catfish, but cut baits are
much more prevalent in the salt water fishing community. If you were to go to most fishing piers and
check what anglers are using for bait, you will find that the majority of them are using some type of cut
bait. It can be pieces of shrimp, squid or any other type of live bait that has been cut up and used for
bait. Cut baits are very effective for a variety of saltwater species and as we said above, very effective
baits for fresh water catfish.
