catfishh baits??????

hi so i go to a small pond by my house for fishing and i used abait thats made out of bread and cheese all smooshed together with lots o garlic salt and real granulated garlic that imade at home so i use it the first time and i get a huge catfish that breaks my line [ i caught it with in the first ten mins of casting] so i cast another piece out and i got another catfish with in first ten mins so i real it in and its a 31 in, 17 pound catfish and i give a piece of the magic bait to aome one else and he gets one in the first ten mins that breaks his line [hes using 10 pound test fireline and im using 8 pound test mono ] then the next day i go to the lake at the same time with 2 lines out in the water and same bait and i catch nothing so then my mom bought some large cut garlic for a recipe and she has some garlic juices left over that almost makes me gag just sniffing them becuz its so strong so do u think if i soaked the same bait in that stuff it would work relly good??

ps. i switch to 14 pound fireline and also whadt do u think of the south bend colapseble eclipse rod it landed me a 31 in catfish and a 22 in largemouth bass and many more so it cant be total crap?

1. just keep using the same bait you have been using or try chicken liver or use this lure......

2. First of all with the lines breaking...thats easily avoidable. u just need to set the drag on your reel so that when there is high tension and your line is about to brake the fish will pull out some line. so he wont break your line and then he will get tired and u will be able to pull him in without the line breaking. keep using the baits u r using sounds like it is working well but when in like a lake or river i catch some good catfish on chicken livers...

answer me in the additional facts just click edit and answer my Q...by any chance do u live in Northern Virginia?
