Hi guys. Alot of guys contacts me and ask me for advice on rigs, methods and baits. Now I don't mind sharing but I always emphasise that the way I do things is NOT the alpha and omega of Catfishing. As I always say, I'm not a pro but I'm definitely a student of the game. Now my problem is I give these guys the info and tips I've got but not anything else that is out there. So my plan with this post is to get as many inputs from as many people as possible regarding rigs, baits and the different methods they use. I will then compile a EXELL or Pdf file with all this info and I might even make some footage of this. I will also make a post here on Sealine. This info will then be freely available to anybody interested in it. The beauty of it is that the person can then decide what rigs, methods and baits he has confidence in and use that. I'm aiming to have all this info by December so I have plenty of time to compile all the info in a nice format. What's your guys opinions on this? Discussions on the following baits started here.

Looking forward to it. My PB is an 18kg on a fish head, 5/0 hook through the lips. This was a long time ago now, and in a week i will return to south africa to hunt those brutes in the mighty Vaal again. Just cannot wait.

Ok clearly enough interest in something like this. I was thinking the way we must go about this is first to discuss/debate a specific bait. The rigs, rigging method, conditions /times you you will use such baits etc. Then if we came to some consensus we go out and put these baits into practise and collect some media (photos, videos and/or animations) which we can share. The info will obviously be available in this post as we go along and I will keep updating my original post with links (example you are interested in day olds baits so you just click on the link next to day olds which will take you to the start of the day old discussions). When we are finished with all the baits and there discussions and the gathering of the media I will then compile it in a nice friendly format of some sorts and start a 'super' baits post here on Sealine. It will also be available in a digital form that I can forward to who ever is interested.

So die keer wil ek dit reg doen en dis ook die rede hoekom ek die post begin het. Ek wil al die verskillende manier demonstreer met die volgende kliniek en nie net my metodes nie maar ek verseker julle ons sal nog 'n kliniek in die nabye toekoms hou.

Let's start off with day old chickens. The different methods I know off is where some guys defeather the chicks. I prefer to keep it as natural as possible. Some guys including myself puncher the stomach and other guys don't. In rivers we sometimes ad feather duster feathers to make the bait float. We cast it up river and let it float down river close by structures. Some guys rig the hook through the spine, others rig the hook through the poepernol and either out the back or out the stomach. Other guys rig the hook in the there down the throat and out the back or out the stomach. There is guys that make use of the hair rig and other guys make use of cable ties to secure the bait. And then there is of course the chicken bomb which I will demonstrate later on. Is there any other methods I'm missing here? Do someone maybe have pics of the above mentioned methods? Any other insets? Ps: where can I get day old chickens to demonstrate these methods in the Pretoria area? Last edited on Sun Oct 26th, 2014 11:32 pm by Skuimkop |
