Catfish Rigs For Lakes That May Help You Catch More Fish

By Jill Faulkner


If you are into fishing, then you may have heard of the different ways of catching fish. In some places, making catfish rigs for lakes is quite common. There are actually a lot of types that you can make in case you are interested in having a trip to the nearest lake in your place.

The list starts with the santee cooper rig. Catching catfishes is easier with this well known process. This is can be applied when one goes for anchored and drift fishing.

The slip slinker rig is also the type commonly utilized in the field of fishing. They are perfect for fishing amateurs in lakes as well as in rivers. The popularity of these rigs has a lot of reasons.

This method is good in allowing fish to be pulled with the line without the resistance of a sinker. The fish that are caught can run with the certain bait you have prepared because of its bait clicker. Large and small fish can be caught using these rigs. Meanwhile, you can simply change it into a santee rig by simply attaching a small peg that enables to the lifting of baits off the bottom.

A common way of getting those fish is known as the three way rig. A modified version has also been made so that catching will be easier. This type is designed in situations wherein the bait has to be kept off the bottom. It is best for both anchored and drift fishing, too. Moreover, it is a typical way of getting three species of catfish.

Due to a certain variation, the modified version of the three way rig was born. There is only one slight difference that makes the second one distinct from the other and that is the absence of cutting and tying of some knots. The latest one can save the fisher more amount of time because of the lack of tying tasks. This is the reason why the updated version will suit you better.

Fishers many also want to try out pebble rigs. This method was developed by fishing expert, Stephen Buss. He was able to make use of large stones reaching five pounds each for rigging purposes instead of weights. There are two until four rubber bands that tie the stones together. It is important to use rubber bands that are thick for better results.

The moment you catch something, the stones are released with sharp tugs that make the connection with the fish possible. If you think this method is suitable for you, then you should make sure you will use stones that are smooth and ones that are also flat since they are perfect for staying beneath the bottom of rivers. The last kind is also called the paternoster rig.

Using catfish rigs for lakes requires fishermen to use live baits. These rigs are almost the same of the ones that float. The type of floats they use have a bullet shape coupled with ball sinkers located along sliding droppers. This purpose of this design is to keep the bait maintain its right depth. It also allows the catfish to move around with the bait after the setting of the hook. The constant movement of the float makes the bait move as well.
