USING THE PERFECT CATFISH BAIT

The right catfish bait and fishing in the right location is only half of the experience of Catfish Fishing Rigs. Aside from these important factors, setting up your catfish rigs carefully could spell how successfully you catch the big cats. Although trying to get sound advice from experienced anglers will most likely bring you varying responses and suggestions, beginning with a reasonably straightforward set-up should be a good start. Sometimes going for a simple weight or bobber with a stout hook and the right bait will do the trick. But, experimenting a bit with different set-ups doesn't hurt, either.

STANDARD TWO HOOK RIG

The most common rig is the standard Two Hook rig and also the most popular one. These Catfish Fishing rigs will guarantee catches for most catfish species in lakes. It's considered the complete answer to keeping soft bait fish on the hook. One reason for this is this rig gives the angler the opportunity to be creative, by using two types of baits, one on each hook. According to expert anglers, the Two Hook rig works better and give a far greater hook-up rate if you're using whole fish bait, and has it put the other way around with the head on the bottom hook.

SLIP SINKER RIG

The Slip Sinker rig is the next most common catfish rig, which works well for Blue, Channel and even Flathead catfish. The slip sinker is popular because it allows the catfish to pull the line without meeting significant resistance from the sinker. These catfish rigs are good for both shore and Drift fishing from a boat for Channel catfish. Also, it allows the functional use of a bait clicker, a device on the rig's reel that lets you know when the fish has taken the bait, by the 'click-click' sound it makes.

DRIFT FISHING RIG

Drift fishing is considered as one of the toughest methods of fishing to master. Drift fishing and the rig of the same name, works best in lakes with muddy bottoms without too many rocks, boulders or other obstructions. This is because drift fishing rigs call for sensitivity on both the angler, detecting the lightest of bites and setting the hook before the catfish can spit out the hook, without the bait. Some anglers modify basic sliding sinker rig for Drift fishing for Channel catfish. Using a sliding sinker, they attach a three-way or cross line swivel to the end of the line, enabling the use of two hooks, and therefore, two different baits on the same rig, which prevent tangling.
