Overview
FishBites Freshwater Catfish Bait in the Shad-Blood scent comes as a 7 ounce gel in a single pack, rated 3.4 stars across 13 reviews with around 200 bought in the past month. It's built as a scent attractant rather than a hook bait on its own.
Gel-based catfish attractants like this one are typically applied to hooks, dip baits or existing bait to add a stronger scent trail in the water, and the shad-blood combination targets the strong scent cues catfish are known to key in on. At 3.4 stars this sits on the lower end of the ratings in this batch, though no review text is available here to explain why. The 7 ounce size is confirmed against both the title and the attribute data.

Who it's for
Catfish anglers who want to add scent to existing bait or rigs rather than buy a standalone bait. Not aimed at anglers targeting other freshwater species, since this is formulated specifically for catfish.

Performance notes
As a gel, this bait works by releasing scent into the water over time rather than relying on visual attraction, which matters most in murky or slow-moving water where catfish hunt largely by smell. The shad and blood combination leans on two scent profiles catfish are commonly drawn to. How long a 7 ounce container lasts depends on application rate, which isn't specified in the listing.
