This bait is easy to make and very effective for attracting big catfish. Here is how you can make your own spoiled shrimp catfish bait at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 pound of raw shrimp (with shells and heads)

- 1/4 cup of salt

- 1/4 cup of garlic powder

- 1/4 cup of onion powder

- 1/4 cup of sugar

- 1 gallon of water

- A large bucket with a lid

Directions:

- Rinse the shrimp and remove any dirt or debris.

- Place the shrimp in the bucket and add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and sugar. Mix well to coat the shrimp with the seasonings.

- Fill the bucket with water until the shrimp are completely submerged.

- Cover the bucket with the lid and place it in a warm and sunny spot. You can also place it in a garage or shed, but make sure it is not exposed to freezing temperatures.

- Let the shrimp ferment for about two weeks. You will know it is ready when it smells very bad and has a slimy texture.

- Drain the liquid from the bucket and store the spoiled shrimp in an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to a month or in the freezer for up to six months.
