Check price on AmazonBest for
Catfish anglers who prefer dip bait over liquid attractant or bait chunks, especially those baiting in volume, since the 45 ounce, 45 piece tub is built for repeated dips over a season rather than a single trip.
Skip if
Skip it if you want the cheapest entry point. At $29.94 it costs far more upfront than the $4.56 to $6.97 Berkley attractants, and anglers who only need a small amount for occasional trips may find the 45 ounce size more than they need.

Overview
Dip bait has a following of its own among channel catfish anglers, and the Triple S Channel Catfish Dip Bait in cheese flavor is built for that crowd. It ships in a 45 ounce tub, listed as 45 pieces, and sells for $29.94.
That price puts it well above the Berkley attractants in this comparison, which range from $4.56 to $6.97, but the package size is also much larger, a 45 ounce tub versus small squeeze bottles. Its 4.5 star average across 277 reviews is the second best rating here, behind only the two Berkley products that hit 4.6 stars, and it beats the GCN's 4.2.
Demand looks solid too. At 200 or more units bought last month, it matches the pace of the Berkley GCN, though it trails the BTCOY2's 700 or more and the 1004950's 2,000 or more. Combined with 277 reviews built up over time, the pattern points to a well-established bulk option for catfish anglers rather than a niche or new arrival. At $29.94 for 45 ounces and 45 pieces, the cost per unit works out lower than the small squeeze bottles the Berkley lineup ships in, which matters for anglers who fish often enough to justify buying in that volume.

- Rating still falls short of the 4.6 stars posted by the BTCOY2 and 1004950

Performance notes
A 45 ounce tub with 45 listed pieces is sized for anglers who fish catfish tournaments or long seasons rather than a single weekend trip, dip bait like this gets used a chunk at a time, so a larger tub means fewer mid-season restocks. Cheese flavor is a well known catfish draw, distinct from the liver, blood, or trout-focused scents in the Berkley lineup here, so it is aimed at a specific species and technique rather than general purpose use. At $29.94, the cost per ounce works out lower than it first appears once weighed against the small squeeze bottles the Berkley products ship in, though this listing does not provide a direct per-ounce breakdown. The 4.5 star average across 277 reviews suggests the format and flavor combination is landing well with the catfish anglers who have left feedback.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 277 reviews places this dip bait just behind the BTCOY2 and 1004950, both at 4.6 stars, but ahead of the GCN's 4.2. That is a solid score backed by a meaningful review count, not just a handful of early ratings. Its 200 or more units bought last month matches the GCN's pace but sits well below the BTCOY2's 700 or more and the 1004950's 2,000 or more. Read together, the pattern suggests a well-liked product with a smaller, more specialized buyer base, likely channel catfish anglers specifically, rather than a mass-market attractant drawing casual buyers across species.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 45 ounce size worth $29.94?
It depends on how often you fish catfish and how much dip bait you go through. The tub is far larger than the small squeeze bottles the Berkley attractants ship in for $4.56 to $6.97, so the higher price reflects a bigger quantity rather than a like-for-like comparison.
How does the rating compare to Berkley's attractants?
At 4.5 stars across 277 reviews it beats the GCN's 4.2 stars, but falls just short of the 4.6 star averages the BTCOY2 and the 1004950 carry. All four have a meaningful review count, so the differences reflect real rating patterns rather than small sample noise.
What flavor and format is this bait?
It is a cheese flavored dip bait listed at 45 ounces and 45 pieces, built for channel catfish specifically. That format and species focus sets it apart from the general purpose or trout-oriented scents the Berkley attractants in this comparison are built around.
