Tie the palomar knot to the bottom swivel before tying the hook on. The palomar knot is the only knot I ever tie.
So just a suggestion if you prefer the Palomar knot all the way up is to tie the hook and swivel onto each other first then to the main line. I personally Snell my hooks but that palomar knot is darn near the best knot ever for any type of hard wear connection. I use it a lot. That and the fishermen's knit but with an extra loop through the eye
You have it backwards
Like what?
That's not a Carolina rig.
Oh, ok. Please educate me then.
You should be using a snell knot on that hook
Looks like a fairly easy rig to set up. Gonna have to try this next time I head to the water. Thanks for posting.
Awesome. Good luck!
Excellent videos. Expertly but simply explained. Great camera work that shows your handy work. I subscribed after watching just 2 videos.
Thanks for your feedback. That's what I aim for. Knowledgeable and easy to follow.
Useful tip. Thanks
great video. as an alternative you can use a splitshot instead of a bead.
Does this rig work with live bait ? Like bluegill ?
Absolutely it does. Do it all the time.
This is my fathers favorite rig
It’s a darn good rig. Probably my fav as well.
I personally use a heavier leader than main line i use 40lb monofilament main line and a 80lb monofilament leader line and i don’t use sinker slides or no roll sinkers i use a three way crane swivel with a snap that I attach a weight to it dont slide and keeps your leader length what you want it to be
Hey whatever work for you. I like to get my weight back at a minimum so I’ll make the leader weaker. That stuff ain’t cheap lol
@@ShowMetheHawgs yeah it aint cheap but im gonna start making my own sinkers and plus I usually figure out a way to get it on snag by positioning, my boat, the opposite side of where it got snagged and I usually get it back I like that have your leader because when you’re flathead fishing, you have to fish some of the heaviest cover like timber and stuff and I want it to be strong just in case have to pull a flat head all that are blue and just for abrasion resistance
Will this catch reds fish and trouts fish
Yes, but I’d use different hooks and sinkers for those.
It's a palomar knot, not a polymer knot
not everyone pronounces everything the same. so chill. we all know what he's saying teacher
this very xicanese knot, aka .. el amarre palomar.
Shut up
Superb
Gonna try this setup in a catfish tournament this Saturday will let you know results later 🙌🏽 AZ
Good luck!
Thanks
You’re welcome
This is what I use
Do you recommend a 2in float right above the hook so the bait is off the ground
That’s called a “Santee Cooper” rig. Similar but different
I personally only find it necessary for the leader line to be 10 lbs lighter than the mainline. I use a 50 lb braid mainline and a 40 lb Monofilament leader line and that's all I find I need for any fish I go fishing for personally.
I’m sure that works. I don’t believe there’s a one size fits all setup. I’ve seen guys with heavier leaders than main line, which baffles me, but if you’re catching fish…
@@ShowMetheHawgs oh I don't believe there's a one-size-fits-all either I'm just saying I personally don't find it necessary to go any higher than 50 lb test as long as a person knows how to use their drag properly. I mean technically you could get away with just a 30 lb test line and a heavy leader for pretty much any fish on the planet.
As a matter of fact the biggest catfish in the world was an over 600-lb Chinese species of catfish which was caught on just 30 lb test monofilament. And all that fisherman did was use his drag properly to prevent the line from breaking.
A general rule of thumb is you only want your drag set at 20% of your mainlines lb test Which may not sound like much. But it's actually all you really need to prevent your line from breaking and still reel the fish in.
what size bead hook and weight bro ?
Hook size will depend on what you’re after. For big fish, I go 8/0 up to 12/0. For smaller fish, I use 4/0. Weight size depends on where I’m fishing and my rod. If I’m using my medium spinning rods in lakes, I’ll use 1/2 to 1oz, but if I’m using my bigger rods, I use 3oz. If I’m fishing on rivers with a lot of current, I’ll use whatever weight will hold the bait on the bottom.
What bait for catfish?
There a ton of baits you can use. Here’s several I use. Nightcrawlers, live and cut bluegill, shad, skipjack and other baitfish, chicken breast, chicken liver, hotdogs, shrimp. If you’re going after blue cats, I’d use live or cut bluegill, large shad and skipjack. If flathead, I prefer live bluegill but flathead will eat cut bait as long as it’s fresh. Channel cats will eat all of the above.
Do you need line that heavy?
Nope. Depends on what I’m after. Big cats I want that thick line. Smaller channel cats I’ll use 10-20lb test and bass 6-12lb test.
