Interesting. I go with two snap swivels, one on main line, one on leader end. Then various drop shot rigs, generally with two hooks. I find this catches bigger fish and more of them in my area. Bigger because bigger fish own their own water and they are more wary of fisherman. The dropshot gets a much better hookup ratio for my situations, keeps the bait up off the bottom easily. With the snapshots, I can easily alter my rigs. When fishing off the bank, non sand, I have to raise the hooks for obvious reasons unless it's a sandy bottom. I fortunately know the best bait for my area which destroys all other baits, even worms. That is a huge help. Oh yes, I also put a snap on the weight too so I can switch it out.
Our group here at Whisker Grabbers have been thinking about switching to Whisker Seeker Tackle. Good looking floats and hooks! Good stuff as always Capt Chad!
What rod racks do you have on the back? I noticed you took the catrack off and put up the 2 racks on each side. I’m looking for something like that to put on my boat.
im getting a kastking rover a50 baitcaster reel and im trying to figure out what rod to get along side of it. I primarily fish from shore so a 9' med heavy two piece is around what im looking at but I dont know where to find one. What do you think?

You should!
Can you do a quick video on bank fishing for those of us that don’t have access to a boat?
I'll try, bank access is so limited around here!
Now I have a fall &winter rig, thanks!
You bet!
Liked the whisker seeker idea. Went to their website and spent a bunch of money.
Will that little bobber float a big piece of cut bait?
Yes
I use those same drift weights love em
Nice!

I use a lighter leader than my main line so that if I get snagged and have to break off all I lose is the hook. Is that wrong?
Yes. Defeats the purpose of using a leader.
What about the Chubs from seeker I use those alot do you use them
Yes, love the silver
Great video friend
Thank you 👍

My 9.5 Ft signature series catfish rod
Great info
Thanks
We oughta fish together! I know you live in my area
Maybe one day. I don't get much time to fish for fun!
Do you remember me Cooper
Which Cooper?
Cooper Duncan I went fishing with you
Nice rig ,but way much going on, simple Santee or Carolina tried and true and catches fish with half the fuss.. imo Good video though..
They'll work but this works better for the applications I'm using them in.
