Fishing
has always been a favorite pastime for people. A catfish rig is the way
to bait the fish. There are different ways to rig the line for catfish.
These are simple to make and effective to use.Simple catfishing rigs
It is one of the simplest ways to start fishing. You can make your
own rig with a catfishing line and have a strong hook along with a
weight and bobber.
Shallow Catfishing Rigs
A shallow catfishing rig is setup similar to the simple rig, but the
bobbers are placed 2 to 3 feet away from the hook and 1 or 2 split shot
is given between every hook and bobber.
Floating Catfishing Rigs
If you are setting up a floating rig then it must be light in weight
and the rig should not have any sinkers. One end of the leader line has
to be tied to a barrel swivel and the main line must also be tied to
another of the barrel swivel. The hook and bait must be tied to the
other side of the leader line securely.
Carolina Catfishing Rigs
In this method, end of the leader line has to be tied up with barrel
swivel and then the sinker weight has to be attached to the main
fishing line. Onto to the other end of barrel swivel, tie the main line
once the beads are added. Next the leader line has to be tied to the
hook and then the bait on it. You may think why beads are used in rigs;
beads are kept so that the knots do not come out at any cause. There are
chances that the knot may come off especially while catching big fishes
with heavier weight but the beads protect them.
Slip Bobber Rig for Shallow Water Catfishing
Add a slip bobber to the line and then add a small plastic bead and
then as usual tie it up to a barrel swivel. Connect a short leader to
the other end of barrel swivel which has a hook to another end. Bobber
stop can be fixed to the other end of the swivel which helps to fix the
right depth of line. Bait has to be placed just 1 foot from the bottom
of lake or pond.
