The Ultimate Big Catfish Rig! (Fishing Tackle)
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 03. 2020
- There's a lot of rigs out there for catfish and bait fishing, but this is the one I use the majority of the time, mainly due to its versatility. It's simple on one hand, but can be manipulated based on your needs. I've learned a lot from other catfishermen, and this is the best I can come up with from it. I'm always trying to learn tho, and I'm sure this rigging will evolve as my understanding of fishing grows.

I liked the lesson on your fishing rig, and with your addition of it being versatile enough to change on the fly, shouldn't get much flack from those who want to tell you the way they do it. :) I like to pick up rigs from y'all that are using them. I'm 69 and still learning things I don't know. Keep it up my friend!!
Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully I can share a little information that helps you catch a few more fish😁
80 degrees in N.Texas today, oh so nice. Off next week with the kids on spring break and its supposed to rain all week. Oh well, the fish are already wet. Luckily not frozen. Great tips as always
I'll be battling it myself. That's what they make raingear for though haha
It just turned 60 degrees here in Richmond Indiana it's freezing cold. I've been getting my whisker seeker rods ready. My wife calls it couch fishing lol. I'm ready for a giant.
Was in Indiana yesterday between the Sugar and the Wabash- man it was a beautiful 64, and me with no fishing rod😪
Chad Nolte I tie on a Kleenex and drive my cats insane ! You wanna see your cat pant like a dog lol fish for those kitty fish !
I feel your pain. Although I did have some fun with the channel cats this weekend. Its been fun to edit. Hopefully you enjoy it!
Outstanding explanation of your setup! Pretty cool, I think I'll give it a try this next season.
Hopefully it helps ya catch some more fish!
Best fishing videos on CZcams. Thanks. I’d be interested in your thoughts on fishing from a boat. Where to fish, drift or anchor Ed, etc.
Glad you like the videos! I am editing a drifting from a boat video right now. Seems I do best drifting and trolling when its warm out.
This is the ultimate rig, I put some glow in the dark beads on and it has been excellent!
Thanks
Really great vid. Been cat fishin pretty much all of my fishing life but I've never used "high tech" setups. My fishin buddy has and does and he understands it. I'm going to have to watch this a few more times slowed down and try and understand the setting up process. I do like the looks of it.
I hear ya. Honestly it doesn't make that much of difference, it just speeds some things up and makes you a little more efficient on the water. Hope it works if you try it!
Your one of the first Rats I heard say about using j hooks. I agree 100 percent . They live in the roughest neighborhoods. They really can’t turn and the j is the best hook for the job. I’m using circles more and more on Blues and Channels. I’m gonna try fixed weight this year a little . I always use no- rolls Carolina rigged. Gonna add some rattles to. Great video as always these tackle tips are really good.keep em coming and come on spring
I can't wait for spring and get into the channel cats.
I'm glad you got a kick out of it! I use Js for channels just to practice my hookset for flatheads hahaha. WIth blues though, my hookup percentage is twice as high with circle hooks. Editing an iceout channel cat video right now!
Snow Blah! Worst Ice Fishing season for me EVER!!! I use the same rigs and they work great! My fav part of the video "Big Fish Don't Give a Crap"! Happy Fishing Buddy !
Same for me to be honest. Watched a lot of other people catch some great fish tho. Same to you Mark!
I use a similar rig when I'm fishing where rock transitions into mud and rocks in general on the mighty mo river. I will vary the length of leader and size of float at times. Your right about big fish not caring about fixed weight. I do use 15 pound mono tho for weight so I don't lose entire rig in rocks since I fish in heavy current. Loose alot of weights. Another great vid. Keep your powder dry young man 💪😉
I do a similar one in rocks with a break away sinker, but honestly I don't fish rocky areas that much. Only when I head south to fish some dams. You do the same sir!
Thanks for the set up tips Spencer. Not far off from my rigs, but I'm gonna try your peg float concept.
Hope it helps man!
Love the videos man. Been trying to upgrade my catfish tackle and you're my go to guy. Btw, the beginning reminds me of Grumpy/Grumpier Old Men.
Haha glad you got a kick out of it. Hope it helps!
Hey brother, great video. I've been using a few inch piece of clear tubing between my hook and versa rattle instead of piling on beads. Works very well! Tubing is fish aquarium pump tubing and it's very cheap. Works for Carolina rigs and Santee(float) rigs. Hope this tip helps! Tight lines!🤘🤘
Good stuff man!
I use tubing as well. I had an old piece left over from a ice maker install. I use a 1"~ section of tubing with 1 bead on either end.
Interesting concept. I'll try it with local kittens. Your explanation was clear as crystal. Thank you for sharing Spencer!!! Missed your caustic comments this time!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope it helps! More caustic comments coming thursday hahahaha
Thanks for the tips, I will definitely try this one out and see if the cats on the trinity will like it.
I wanna flathead fish that river bad. Not sure why, I just think it looks cool.
Nice explanation and demonstration. I see that rig in your vids all the time and I always think "what's with all that voodoo jewelry on there?" Thanks!
You should check out the Spro Power swivels, they got some rated for 230lbs but are still relatively small.
I've used em saltwater fishing. Theyre good stuff
Amy thought on sliding bait? It's about like your sinker slide but backwards. You cast a monster weight, then clip on your baited hook and send it down. Seems interesting
Talking about a "non-return slide"? Know a few guys who used to use em in the salt. If it works for a shark, I think it would work for a catfish. Just gotta be high in the air.
@@RiverCertified well if low angles don't work that idea is out for most bank fishermen. It would be great for not casting a 2lb quill back
@@thereallevel27 would work if you are up on a Jetty, pier, or maybe a high cut bank
I thought this kinda rig was kinda bizarre up until a few years ago and now it's one of my go to's
It gets the job done man!
Very informative, good illustration. Nice looking rig, think I'll try it without the beads and float.
Hope it helps ya catch a few more than you would have!
Sure u have heard this a lot but So ready for this season bud. Went out first time this year caught a little channel. Can’t wait for the clicker to start rolling with big ugly tho. Looking forward to see you back in the kayak too. Hopefully you and Denny tare um up this year.
Glad you got on some fish man! I'll be in my kayak chasing blues all next week and maybe try for a big ugly.
Spencer my friend…. I used this method yesterday morning and on my first cast i managed to find a nice deep hole maybe 12’ deep and i hooked a channel cat i could not land because i seriously embarrassingly underestimated the power of these fish. I know it’s not a flathead but i plan to upload the video to my channel and hope maybe you can see it when you get a chance. I didn’t bring a landing net so i did the rookie mistake of pulling the line by hand to try to land it… saddest day of my fishing life man! But this rig has me hooked now, im literally in a walmart parking lot waiting to buy some crawlers to go back at it man!!! Almost caught my “giant” thanks to you man!!!!💯
P.s. i used the same set up minus the braid and 50lb leader along with the beads and rattler. Had 14lb test mono both main and leader with the peg float 3” above a size one circle hook. Lol i know… 💀😂😂😂
Nothing wrong with down sizing tackle. Hope you get another chance man!
@@RiverCertified I will catch my giant, u keep tellin me to every video bro! 💯 thanks for all the tips man you are my favorite fisherman, much serious respect dude.
Yes I enjoyed it very much can’t wait to see what else you have to offer by the way I live in Jennings Louisiana God bless bye
Thank you sir! God bless!
I like that rig alot
Hope it helps ya catch a few!
It won't be long until the snow is gone, hang in there buddy
If my video loads, tomorrow should be a fun one!
Great video thanks bud! Been wondering what set ups you use most and I guess I somehow missed this video lol! Tight lines buddy 🎣
There should be a few other rigging videos in that playlist. Hope they help!
Hello, river certified love u vids bro plus the humor man keep it up i copied ur set up works great the only thing i changed was insted of stacking multiple beads i just put a rubber stopper and one bead between the stopper n the rattler
That's a good idea. Probably makes it faster to rig.
Love to see some bait ideas for guys like me who can't use live bait. Great vid
Cherry chicken breast is the way to go Frederick. It's my go to.
Why can't you use live bait?
@@RiverCertified , its illegal here in Idaho unfortunately. Was my favorite bait before living here
@@frederickfitzpatrick3165 I plan on filming a video this summer using fish bites. Might be something to look into.
@@RiverCertified , ok thanks bud
Have you tried Team Catfish rigs? The sinker slider is a great use of tackle. Cherry chicken breast is my go to bait for the cats.
I've used their hooks and sinkers bumpers, but that's it. Never used chicken breast. I'm too cheap to buy it haha
@@RiverCertified I swear by it. They hit it hard like it's chicken liver. Plus it doesn't smell.
Thank you. I was wondering how you set up your rig. Well now I know lol
Caught me an 18 pound channel last Friday. It is time for some fun
That's a stud man!
You must be awesome at art's and crafts in school heehe. Good vid
I have my moments haha
Really informal video man thumbs up 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Sure hope it helps!
Great info, thanks for sharing.
Hope it helps!
Been checking out your videos and these different ideas have been super helpful! After watching your night time slip float video, I’m just wondering how you decide on fishing on the bottom with this rig vs. when to use a slip bobber? Thanks for your time!
I just experiment with both. Each night is different so I try to give em options.
River Certified awesome thanks man
Good Video , Spencer ! You explained it just Right .!!!!!
Glad you liked it! Hope it helps ya catch a few more!
Another great video man
Thanks Emalii!
Totally off topic, I meant to ask at the conference.
Sammy Sosa era cubbies or today’s cubbies? Sosa era for me lol
16 Cubbies took it all, I've been waiting 51 of my 57 years for that to happen. 69 nearly killed my Dad and Grandpa, totally when I became a fan. My Ronnie and Ernie Autographed Big Pictures hang proudly in my home office. 89 was a great one and 05 made me seek Psych help, LOL. 16 an absolute redemption for everything all forgotten and forgiven. Even the Pink Hat Guy was happy and I've never seen the guy smile! Spring is here time to play. Don't know about Ross, huge bet by Theo. So we'll see.. Play Ball!
I never was a Sammy fan. I liked Mark Grace better. The Cubs of recent years are a lot more clutch than those teams, so I'll stick with the modern era. Hopefully this year is a good one.
And I learned you could switch between the 2 it doesn't need to be a slip on Barber It can be a snap on Bobber I don't know why people don't say that
What knot do you tie the leader to the swivel with? I have trouble tying the improved clinch with heavier mono.
I prefer a uni knot. Usually do 4 turns with 50-80 lb mono. Hope that helps.
Awesome brother
Hope it helps!
If you hook the bait in the tail at night, where do you hook it during the day???
I hope I catch a giant!
Usually through the lips. The stay on the hook better that way. Good luck!
OMG so do we use the Santee Cooper rig or South Carolina rig this is so frustrating
I know this is super late but, does this rig work well when fishing from the bank?
Another great video 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it dude!
Awesome, Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
All i can say is lets go fishing 👍👍👍
Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the invitation!
How do I stop the fish from swallowing the hooks? Do the beads work?
The beads won't do anything, but circle hooks might
Your rigs are quite similar to mine. But, do you really think the rattle actually helps out? I've been contemplating trying them out. But wanted to know if you think they really make a difference since you obviously already are using them lol.
Keep up the great videos! Always enjoy seeing your vids! Reminds me of my buddies and me only you and your friends seem a little calmer than me and mine typically end up being lol. Hopefully when I get started posting the actual fishing videos I don't have to cut too much footage out because of it lol!
I think they help at times for flatheads. Seems to be best in warmer water temps. I think they work really well for blues and channels in warm water too. I always throw a rod without any tho.
P.S. a lot gets edited out😆
@@RiverCertified lol. I figured a lot got edited of yours lol. I will definitely have to pick some up and give them a try. Ty!
Is that a funky Santee rig
It's awesome when I can keep you out of the boat lol
Can you review the Scotty bait board I really think you need one.
I would, but I don't see the need for me personally. My baitboard is bolted to my cooler lid.
River Certified I forgot you had one, I didn’t think you did.
Go Milwaukee Brewers in 2020! LOL
🤮🤮🤮🤮 hahaha
New subscriber, where can I find that sinker slide. Great rig idea thanks
whiskerseeker.com/sinker-slides-ez-rig/
There ya go sir. Hope it helps!
Great video . Can always do a knot video you know 7 or 8 lol
I thought we were up to 9 knots haha
Great video, thank you. Where do you buy the sinkers?
U got to move away man. Why we did it. hahaha About your set up. True anglers can always relate. Should always think outside the box. Plus, It's a mental thing every fisherman's style and what they go through. What gives them piece of mind. I have a unique type of set up I experiment too. All the yrs of fishing. I've never lost a fish over a tie or knot. I'm pretty sloppy too. Polamar know most often. I lost plenty of fishes. Just not from my tie. Maybe I'm just lucky lol
I'm waiting for Ella to finish school then hopefully she can find a job down south. My fingers are crossed on that anyway! Post up a video of the knot on my facebook page if you get time. It would be cool to see!
One nice thing about circle hooks is they are WEEDLESS. By design. : ) It takes a lot to snag a circle hook, but im sure it happens : )
That is a fact! I go through more hooks cuz of Js, but I hook more flatheads on them too. Everything is a trade off.
Dude my dad loves you 😂
Haha awe shucks
Watching this video again but it's July in Texas and app says feels like 107 lol
Thats toasty
Spenser, it's looks like it's almost time for your wife to become a Fishing Widow for 2020! Catch a bunch of giants. Does see ever sample the beauties with you? Kinda why I quit for so long I'd catch them and was the only one to eat them.
Honestly, my fishing is pretty consistent all year, I just change species. She eats fish too, I just don't keep a ton. Ate a few on the water this weekend though.
that looks like a smallmouth mounted in the background ? but it's kinda hard to tell cause you don't show the whole thing. what'd it weigh?
22" largemouth I caught when I was 12. Thought it was the biggest fish in the world then haha
@@RiverCertified 22" smallmouth and you don't think smallies are the hardest fighters in the midwest? I'll have to be honest, after watching some of your vids and you claiming to believe wipers are the hardest fighters in the midwest, i honestly thought well maybe he's only caught smallies up to about a half pound and compared that to 5 pound wipers. Now i'm wandering if you have a fever, HAHA
I'm stupid, just seen it said largemouth, still a nice fish!
@@RiverCertified i think i may be the one with a fever, maybe smallmouth fever, or possibly i'm just illiterate
@@chamblen4 it happens man. My biggest smallie is 21". I still think wipers are tougher😁
I’m going to use that but instead of a float I’m going to use a demon dragon or hookless spook
Solid plan. Hope ya beat em up man!
Good video!
Thanks Greg!
None of you guys say what size Float use
When are you going flathead fishing again
As soon as Mother Nature lets me
Yuh keep the video 💯💯⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️
I do my best! Glad you liked it!
Need to come back to ohio river bud!!!
I bet I'm back in February😁
How did you make the float not slide?
It's a peg float, so that keeps it from moving.
Was all that white stuff real snow?
Yes. Yes it was.
Tried this out last night and got a 21 pounder!
Hell yes!
@@RiverCertified I also designed some rattle floats that I'm going to be putting through their paces soon, do you have a 3d printer? I can send you the files!
Can I use this in a river
Definitely
Can I use cutbait on it
I didn’t realize you’re 15 yrs old until I just watched this video... ole baby face!
I just act 15 haha
What are you wearing as bait?
I keep hearing you talk about school, is your real job a teacher? I work as a maintenance worker at a high school in Cali.
I'm guessing he is.
Hey, if I was a student at his school what a cool subject to be in, HOW TO FISH BIG CATFISH 101. That would be awesome. Don't you think.
@@GrimReaper68440 of attend the class for sure!
Yep, I"m a JH science teacher and fishing club leader.
I'm edumecated now... I'll blush too if I was caught in the act. Lol
At least I'm not the only one 😆
Squirrel
It happens😁
Couldn’t what?...😏
You'll think I'm crazy but you remind me of Chael Sonnen
I've had a handful of people comment that. Wish I was as tough as him haha
@@RiverCertified haha glad I'm not the only one to say it. I think it's mainly from a side view
Go get some crappie while you wait on the big ones to wake up.
If I do that, they go on the hook haha
River Certified mine usually take a greese bath before I get them on the hook haha
A bunch of junk on a string...😂😂😂😂
Way too much talk!
