If you make the decision that you will be using cut bait to target channel catfish or blue catfish, then it will be a good choice for fishing rig and would be what is called a fixed sinker rig.
ABOUT THE USE OF FIXED SINKER
Fixed sinker rigs are easy to make and use. To use this, first you will need to choose a sinker type for your fixed sinker rig. A good multipurpose sinker would be a large bass or bell sinker. The first thing you will want to do is slide a number 1 all the way up to a 6/0 hook, onto your line about 12 to 18 inches from the end of the line. The size of hook depends on how big of catfish you are targeting. Next tie the hook in place. Then tie a good snap swivel to the end of your line so you can quickly change weight sizes if need be. Then last clip your sinker in place. The last thing to do is bait your hook then your fixed sinker fishing rig will be complete.
HOW TO USE SLIP SINKERIf you plan on Catfish Fishing Rigs with live bait, will be a good choice for your fishing rig that would be a slip sinker rig. To make a slip sinker easy to use, first you need to select the type of sinker you are going to operate on it. For example if you are fishing a muddy or sandy mud bottom select an egg sinker. Your first step would be to slide your egg sinker up the line. Next tie a barrel swivel to the line. The barrel swivel serves as sinker stop. Next tie will be the end of your leader to the open eye on the barrel swivel. Make sure your leader has a number 1 to a 6/0 hook tied on the size depends on how large the catfish you are targeting and what type of live bait you are using. For example if anyone was using live bluegills for bait then they would select a 5/0 hook. Last hook your bait to the hook and your slip sinker fishing rig is complete.
