The hardest thing about catfishing is figuring out where you want to go fish! Some of the manufactured baits like the cheese baits and punch bait, dip baits etc. The other standards are chicken livers, shrimp, perch, worms, grasshoppers etc. I've caught cats using a Zebco 33 with 10# line so it's not all that complicated.īaits are easy as long as it's fresh Shad and you'll be well served investing in a Cast net so you can catch your own bait. An Abu Garcia 6500 spooled with 20# line mounted on a med heavy Ugly Stik is a good bombproof combination for cats from big ones to 20+ pounders. Use a good quality rod and reel but you don't need to go into a lot of expense either. If you intend to fish from the bank you will need to carry more hooks and weights because it doesn't take long to go through the terminal tackle fishing from the bank. You will need clips and swivels, beads, and bobber stops, plus the bobbers.Ī sharp filet knife and a small pocket knife, needle nose pliers, a stringer, and a fish gripper. You'll need some split shot weights in various sizes, as well as some tear drop weights.
A couple of sizes of Kahle hooks also find their way into my tackle box.
I have a couple sizes of circle hooks of 5/0 to 8/0 and two sizes of treble hooks in #4 and #6 size for punch bait. My catfishin tackle box is pretty simple.
