BEST River Rig for Catfish! Save MONEY and Land more FISH! 

I just started using the Carolina rig set up with the small Rattle Floats an I love it . I like your tip with the tubeing To space out the rattle floats from the hook .I fish in the Ohio River off the bank when I'm not making knifes I'm fishing

I never considered using a long break away line. Awesome idea!

I'm going try this set up I fish the little Pee Dee river in South Carolina with a lot of snags. Thanks for the tip.

Great Video. It’s always nice to give other Fishermen a Heads up on a Good Rig they may not know about. I learned the same Rig from my Father back in the 60s. It also works really good in Salt Water if you’re bottom Fishing. New Subscriber from Texas. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.👍👍

last trip to Washington this was my goto rigging on the potomac river, that break away line is a really good thing to know, this also works good for striper fishing, even a hi-low rig

I have never tried that one but I am now! Thank you for the education!

Never saw improved clinch knot tied like that! Great video!

Nice info Richard

Just happen to have some "catfish sized" 3 ways in my tackle box. Gonna tie up one of these rigs for next time. Thanks.

Yup use that same rig for the most part, great video and good luck 🎣

dang ! you are clear and very good at displaying how and explaining why! im in !!! thanks for this....I am going catfishing for the first time with my kids now! God bless you!

Good job Richard nice explaination 👍

I had no idea those big floats twist in the current. Thanks.

Great Video Richard. Thanks for Sharing

Great tutorial. Good looking rig.

Good Ideal. Thanks!

Great video Richard!

Nice rig! Good instructions

Good stuff man. Thanks for sharing .

Great how to video richard ....

I've been using this same setup for several years now and had had good luck with it

I really appreciate it thanks for showing this neafy rig up

Great video !!! Very informative

Hey brother great video. Great job very informative. My uncle use to use that rig when he fished Staunton River here in Virginia. Thanks Rich.

Thank you man

Good job buddy

That's an excellent rig and I've used it for years. When I was a kid sinkers, especially large ones, came dear but we had a pretty much limitless supply of old spark plugs and bits of rusted metal in usable chunks. We used many an old spark plug or scrap iron harnessed or bagged to make a sinker. Used old socks, feed bags or anything else to make a sinker bag. I've even used rocks from the bank.

Thanks

Great job man

Yeah thunks I like that rig

Awesome tips!! Much appreciated 🤙

Great video and informative I use this rig often with lots of success. I also use Santee rig as well. I use beads between the hook and rattles and floats . Awesome idea of using vacuum line to space the rattles out much more cost effective and line protection.I also like how you added 2 rattles I will definitely have to try 2 instead of 1. I’m from Warsaw Missouri area I use that style of rig on Truman reservoir and lake . I Also fish Mississippi River in Alton dam on the Missouri side and in Washington Missouri access. Mississippi River sure is fun to fish. I will check out your other videos to thanks for the good content. 👍

Good Job my friend!

Weakened Line Costs You $ In Lost Tackle Consider this: If your main line breaks, how much does it cost you to re-rig? I totaled up my current drifting rig at retail prices:Sinker Slider: $0.58 3oz Swivel Weight: $2.75 Swivel: $.11 8/0 Circle Hook: $1.43 =TOTAL: $4.87

I think that rig is awesome! You told me something.

Thats a good rig...good tutorial ☝️😀👍

I like it

Great video brother... i need to make my break off line longer. I was going to do a float rig video, but I always chicken out 😆

I use the same rig but I cut the weight line and use a square knot to tie it back together . Have good luck with line breaking at the knot .easy peezy

Use this rig lots in green river and ky lake in super snagging areas works wonders and yes you will lose lead but I'd rather have my fish ! Pouring your own weights helps a lot and drill holes in river rock to use as weights works too ! Keep those tips coming and share what you know to the next generation!!!

Good video bro

Btw, what do you think about figure 8 knot for tying the leader to the swivel?

great stuff. rivers do I need to say more LOL. would you happen to have links to any fishing gear. thanks fish on

Your closing music ruptured my eardrums! Other than that, great video. Thanks.

👍

Be honest bro, did you pick this tip up from a surf fisherman? It's pretty much how I tackle a dirty area (pilings, rocks and other old pier debris), in front of Patrick Air Force Base here in Brevard Fl. Tite lines amigo!

Nice trick. I have another question - whenever I do the knotless knot it doesn't really stick. if I push the line back into the hook the knot just crumles, what am I doing wrong?

I e fished a 3 way rig similar to that before but never with the rattle system. Are the rattles buoyant? Are they very productive if you don’t have much current flowing? I’ve never used a rattle system except for bass fishing but I’m interested.

The basic set up is the same 1 I used for bank fishing for sturgeon.

Good video buddy. I never thought about using the vacuum line near my hook , that may be a good way to keep those big cat from fraying up your line also. Where do you fish. I'm in NC and fish Norman and Wylie most of the time

What is your bait of choice and what lb test is main line.

With making my rigs I'm having problems with line memory how do I fix the so my rig sections are straight

Vacuum hose that’s pretty slick

I’ve caught my on blue cat on that exact rig it was a 50lb at the Ohio river

Like a Drop Shot for catfish!

Little addition to my way of fishing>

Been using this setup for over 40 years. well, not exactly, they didnt have rattles way back when.
