ABSTRACT:
A catfish bait holder utilizes a conventional treble hook having an elongated shank secured to a leader. A cylindrical sponge having a central axial hole is positioned around the shank of the hook. An elongated hollow cylinder formed from an open mesh net material surrounds the cylindrical sponge and is in co-axial alignment therewith. The internal diameter of the hollow mesh cylinder and the external diameter of the cylindrical sponge are substantially equal so that the mesh cylinder is retained in position by frictional engagement with the sponge. In use, the mesh cylinder is filled with a viscous bait paste, which oozes out of the mesh cylinder and provides a chumming effect. In a second embodiment of the invention, the mesh cylinder is provided with an enclosed conical tapered top portion and the cylindrical sponge is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending projections for engagement with the open mesh cylinder. These projections serve to retain the mesh cylinder in position around the sponge.
