Setting up a catfish rig requires a few key components to ensure success. Start by selecting a sturdy rod and reel combo with a strong line, preferably 15-30 lb test monofilament or braided line. For the rig itself, use a slip sinker rig which consists of a sliding sinker, a bead to protect the knot, a swivel to prevent line twist, and a leader with a hook. Attach a circle hook, sized based on the bait you are using and the size of the catfish you are targeting. Popular baits for catfish include worms, chicken liver, and stink baits. Make sure to adjust the leader length based on the depth of the water and the behavior of the catfish species in your area. Lastly, consider adding a bobber to keep your bait off the bottom and attract more active catfish.
