ABOUT US

Down here in Kentucky, catfishing ain’t just something we do… it’s in our blood.

Katchin’ Kentucky Live Baits was built from one simple idea:
a Kentucky boy with a big dream to catch more fish, make better bait, and help folks all over the country put more catfish on the bank.

We believe bait oughta do one thing — flat out work.
And that’s exactly what we make.

Our legendary Bourbon BBQ Dough is built on a 3rd generation family recipe that goes way back. Grandad used this same style of bait to haul in catfish left and right and help feed his family back in the day. This ain’t some gimmick bait with a fancy label — this is old-school catfish-catching power passed down through the bloodline. It’s highly acidic, powerful, not stinky, not messy, and despite the name, contains ZERO alcohol. Just pure, hard-hitting scent and flavor that catfish can’t ignore.

Then we turned up the heat with our brand new Watermelon CR4WL Dough — and let’s just say…
catfish lose their minds over it.

This stuff is sweet, fruity, slightly cheesy, and flat-out deadly on channel cats and blue cats. We didn’t just guess on this one — we put it to the test on a private pond full of well-fed channel catfish and blue catfish that get fed every single day. We’re talking pizza crusts, french fries, cheeseburgers, leftover spaghetti… these fish are spoiled rotten. They ain’t starving. They’ve got options.

And Watermelon CR4WL still outperformed.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Just like our Bourbon BBQ Dough, it’s not stinky, not messy, easy to use, and made for folks who are tired of wasting time on bait that looks good on the shelf but can’t get the job done on the water.

At Katchin’ Kentucky Live Baits, we ain’t here to sell you hype.
We’re here to sell you confidence.
The kind you can bait up with, cast out, and know you’ve got a real shot at putting a big cat in the cooler.

So if you’re after channel cats, blue cats, and hard-pulling river monsters, you’re in the right place.

If you wanna catch catfish, you’ve came to the right place.
