Catfishing Rigs Breakdown What Is the Easiest and Most Effective Rig?

The most popular are the basic two hook catfish rig. This can be a high-quality all-around rig for catching all kinds of catfish. It consists of an 18-24 inch leader having a snap swivel on the bottom end and a barrel swivel on the top having two evenly spaced droppers.

You can purchase these per-attached cat fishing rigs in most tackle stores and are sometimes referred to as”surf rigs”. Put a sinker of your choice attaching to the snap swivel and the line to the barrel swivel. Sinker weight and type will depend on a series of scenarios such as needed casting length and controlling the lower part in windy conditions. What varies greatly among fishermen, are hook size and the different kinds of rigs.



Slip Sinker Cat Fishing Rigs

Superb catfishing rigs for both bank and drift fishing using a boat may be the sliding sinker or slip sinker rig. Thread either a barrel weight of your choice or a sinker- slide on your line with a small plastic-type bread, after that, tie a swivel to the last part of it then tie it onto the end of your line.The final step you tie a loop to the end of that hook leader.

The plastic-type bead holds the line in place and keeps it at the right depth.  By basically having extra hook leaders already tied, you can immediately adjust hook sizes through the snap swivel. Should you utilize the sinker slide (a tubular component with a snap on it located in a good number of tackle shops), you can adjust weights quickly.

Drift Cat Fishing Rigs

I have slightly revised the primary sliding sinker rig for drift fishing usually towards the north end of the body of water you are fishing. I make use of a sinker, but I attach a three-way or crossline swivel to the end of my line. With rig, you could use two hooks and therefore two various baits on this setup. With the other two swivel eyes, I put one hook leader of approximately 20 inches in length and the other about 10 inches.




That stops many tangles from happening.  Since it is very easy to get snagged, this kind of rig is not recommended in places where you think there is a lot of debris. The north end of the body of water is typically the muddier part and works well with this type of cat fishing rigs.
