Sounds like good advice-- will inland cats hit that shrimp, even though they don't know what it is? I guess it doesn't really matter--
I haven't had any trouble getting the bait to sink so far-- I've taken the lead weights off the line to reduce snarls in the river. This river is full of tree debris, so the fewer snags, and the less it bumps along the bottom the better--
So far I've had good luck with salmon eggs for the sunfish not snagging the hook too much, and the catfish dough has held up surprisingly well pressed around a hook. Making a streamlined bait that doesn't snag real easilly. Worms tend to snag something awful. I may have to try the shrimp, but I have a feeling they could snag up pretty bad too.
