Would a catfish try to eat a fake worm?

Absolutely...my brother-in-law fishes his local river for catfish all the time, and his go to bait is u-tail plastic worm on a drop-shot rig.

I haven't been catfishing this year, yet I've managed to catch 5 channel cats. They will absolutely grab artificial bait. Folks like to think of catfish as bottom-feeders, but that isn't the case. Yes, they like to hang out near the bottom a lot, but they are hunters, voracious apex predators in their environment. And like any other kind of predator fish, they can be fooled.

If hunger takes over they would surely eat it. I have never done it but
I have friends that have caught catfish with a worm.
