Catfish are the most powerful freshwater species you’re likely to meet. They are extremely strong, very hard fighting fish and will give you an amazing fishing experience.
My go to catfish rig is very simple and is based on the hair rig. For catfish, it’s all about high quality materials, strong knots and solid rig mechanics. You don’t need dedicated catfish tackle or baits to catch catfish, especially in a mixed water where the catfish are used to seeing carp boilies and pellets. This video is perfect if you’re a carp angler and you want to catch a catfish either on a new water or in France. It’s not a rig for the dedicated catfish angler because I’m just using boilies but catfish love them!
