Thanks for taking the time to show us your gear. I am new to catfish, but have found that the Big Game line is an excellent value. It all I use in heavy line now. I can't tell you how it works on 100 pound cats but it does very well on logs and rocks.

Lol good deal. Yeah I'm all about simple and saving a dollar. But also not giving up quality.

Check out crimp protectors. They cover / protect part of the swivel, the knot, and a couple of inches of line. They also help keep braided line from wrapping around the swivel.

Can you go over your down rod set up? Down rod bite is my favorite I do this with 6/8 rods sometimes, varying the depth sometimes when I’m on a ledge or transition area.

@RiverJunkie 5 күн бұрын

You might try out braid on your dragging set up. With the amount of line you have out, I have found the lack of stretch from braid increased hook up ratio. Reaction Tackle Braid is very affordable.

@mickaburkhart14 5 күн бұрын

I first started out using braid and I lost alot of fish using it. Course I've learned alot since then. I may give it another shot.

Any particular reason other than cost you use mono instead of braid ?

@@1squirreldog the way I like to fish I need the stretch that mono gives me. I used braid for a bit but lost alot of fish. But it was definitely just me. I know alot of people that use braid with great success.

Do you ever suspend off the spread em boards? I reverse suspend on the Mississippi some and use off shore boards to suspend 16oz weights. Wanted to try the Spread Em boards but hate to order them if they won’t suspend that much weight.

@mickaburkhart14 5 күн бұрын

I have never done that but I think he said they hold that much weight. But I do know he makes boards that have a thicker foam for just that way of fishing.

@mickaburkhart14 Thanks you are a huge help I was dragging with current having a time slowing boat Thinking fish would be looking for bait as current swept it by. (drifting) Didn't think about them swimming up current To get it would be more natural With your help maybe this red nex fan will get where I can catch a few dinks lol

@@jimnanney6264 lol. Going against the current is way better for boat control and if you use planer boards it will help keep them spread out.
