Ready-made catfish rigs provide a quick way to prepare a robust presentation for large, powerful fish. Rigs may use thick abrasion-resistant leader material and one or more heavy-duty hooks.
Choosing a rig
Consider hook type and size, leader material and diameter, rig length and intended bait. The complete rig should be matched to main-line strength and fishing method.
Bait presentation
Select the construction according to whether the bait will be presented on the bottom, raised above it or in another part of the water column. Check knots, connections and hook condition before fishing.
