stink bait
Smelly fishing attractant
Stink bait is strongly odorous bait used to attract catfish and other bottom-feeders.
Made from fermented cheese, blood, chicken livers, or other putrid ingredients, it appeals to fish that hunt by smell rather than sight.
The stuff reeks—handling it without gloves means your hands will smell for days: I got stink bait on my truck seat and had to sell the vehicle.
