[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2854871, member: 15054"] It is called a snag line. Keep the leaders clean and thin .. usually paracord for main line. Catfish are like cattle or other animals they will follow a trail.. when you get fish on the hooks those hooks will usually be always getting the fish.. you can have an area 15 feet on either side of the trail that will not produce many fish at all. Semi tire with rim ... cut the sidewall out of 1 side and fill with concrete.. atach a chain to the rim and then tie one end of this to your snag line. Big stuff as you will get big fish. Buddy used 8/0 O'Shaughnessy Hook or 10/0. Kept scotchbright handy to keep slime and buildup off of the drops. Around 2.5 foot drops if i am correct. Run the line with submerged jugs and window weights to keep the hooks up off the bottom a few inches. If this is in water you own it is legal.. do it in other water and you will get in trouble. Put some bait on them you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
