Years ago we used P&G hand soap for catfish in running water...

I've used it. To me Ivory works just as well. IMO, soap works best in moving water. The river, the creek is where I have the best results. Not so much on the lake.

I've caught blue cats up to 8 lbs. on it nothing any larger.

Cut it with fishing line!
