Скачать или смотреть 3 Way Rig For Catfish (Best Tutorial)

Learn how to tie a 3 way rig for catfish. This is one of the most popular catfish rigs there is, especially for boat fishing.

This is not really the best catfish rig, but it can be very effective.

The advantages of this rig are that you can adjust it so your bait can be at different depths, and the weight of the sinker can be changed very quickly compared to some inline setups.

The major problem with the rig is there is a good chance it will tangle either while casting, drifting, or when fighting the catfish.

Popular alternatives to this rig are a Carolina, or slip sinker rig, and a santee cooper rig. I have videos on how to tie those two rigs as well.

To tie the 3 way rig, start by tying a large figure 8 knot in a section or line, forming a large loop.

Make this section of line 1-2' long, and tie the free end to one eye on a 3-way swivel.

Next, tie a snell knot onto your circle hook of choice. Make this section on line 1-2' long, and tie the free end to another eye on the three way swivel.

Now just attach your mainline on your rod to the last eye on the three way swivel, and attach a weight through the loop you created earlier. Now you are ready to catch some catfish!
