What Rigs

What Rigs Do You Use For Channel Cat Fishing.

I Just Use A Basic Slip Sinker Rig Myself, I Haven't Really Tried Any Other Way Deliberately But Have Caught Them While Fishing Flathead Rigs.

I also use a slip rig, but won a planner bobber and am going to try it out this year. I am also putting a planner board together to take my trot line out in the river and do to not having a boat on the water I can get it out without having to wade out in the river. I'm to old for wading and can't swim anymore so it's boat or a way from the bank for me.

Well I've been trying out some different types of rigs lately, there hasn't been enough current for the planner board to do any good, so I put a snap on the end of my leader to hook a bobber on, then put one hook about a foot below that and another hook about another foot back from the first with a slip sinker on it so I can cast it out then reel in till the bait is up in the top 3 feet of the water, if they don't bite there I just take the bobber off and have a two hook slip rig on the bottom. Still want to try this one out some more since the river is getting some water back in it again. If I just use a small bobber I can also just use it to keep the bait up off of the bottom also. I'll let you know how it works out.

same here, I use slip sinker rig. Sometime I use the jighead with worm like walleye rig so it was fun to catch catfish on it.

Fish finder rig made with mono.

mostly a carolina rig and sometimes a slip float if Im running some gills just off the bottom

ive always used the standard carolina style bottom rig up for all catfishing !!!

Mainly a carolina rig and a slip sinker. The outer poles, Ill use a no-roll sinker to make it stick. The inner poles use a roll sinker to go back and forth to scour the hole better. Just move your engine a turn or two on the wheel that will move you over a few feet works the best. If you want your bait up off the bottom, just snap in a small bobber on the leader.
