Overview
Buying bait one small piece at a time gets expensive and repetitive for anglers who fish for catfish often, which is the gap the Triple S Catfish Bait Tub is built to fill. This 45oz Blooded Formula tub is brown in color and sized to cover an extended session or multiple trips rather than a single outing, priced at $19.99.
At $19.99 for 45 ounces, the per-ounce cost is lower than buying several small single-piece Berkley attractants that run $4.56 to $6.97 each, assuming you actually use the full tub before the blooded formula loses potency. The brown color and blooded formula point to a scent profile built around blood and cut bait cues, a common approach for catfish rigs fished in stained or slow water.
Review numbers back up the format: a 4.6 star average across 43 reviews puts it on par with Berkley's best-rated attractants in this comparison, the BTCOY2 and 1004950, both also at 4.6 stars. It has fewer reviews than those two, which sit at 4,600 and 5,900, and bought last month sits at 100+, modest next to Berkley's 200+ to 2,000+ figures. Still, a matching star rating on a bulk product is a solid sign for anyone stocking up for a season of catfishing.

Performance notes
The two specs on record, brown color and a 45oz bait feature, point toward a blood-and-cut-bait style formula packaged in bulk rather than a single scented piece. Brown is a common color for blooded or blood-based catfish baits, since it mimics the look of cut bait or organ meat that catfish key in on by scent more than sight. The 45oz size means one tub can supply bait across several trips or a full day fishing multiple rods, which changes the math on cost per use even though the $19.99 price tag is higher than smaller attractants. For anglers who go through a lot of bait in a season, a bulk tub cuts down on how often you need to reorder, though the listing does not break down exact scent ingredients or shelf life once opened.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 43 reviews puts this tub in a tie for the top rating among the attractants compared here, level with Berkley's BTCOY2 and 1004950. The gap is in volume, 43 reviews is a small base next to the 4,600 and 5,900 those two Berkley products carry, so the rating has less history behind it. Bought last month of 100+ shows steady but modest movement, well under Berkley's 200+ to 2,000+ range. The pattern reads as a well-liked product that has not yet reached the sales scale of the established Berkley line, which is typical for a bulk-format item at a higher price point.
