  • The formula may need adjustment with milk, water, flour, or oatmeal to match conditions, which adds a little prep time.
  • Its scent-forward design is geared toward catfish fishing and is less versatile for anglers targeting other species.
  • Performance is tied to active catfish and the right setup, so results can vary with water conditions and presentation.
