Here is the proper procedure to follow when presenting the two hook
catfish rig. Start by casting your line out to the strike zone. When it
hits bottom you can place the rod in its holder to secure it. Next, you
need to wind up the excess line until there is no more tension on the
line. Now you wait for a strike.
Anytime that you notice the rod is moving you may have a bite.
Therefore, wait till the catfish is steadily pulling on the hook and
when it appears they have completely taken the bait then it will be
time to set the hook. Sometimes the cat will take the bait all at once
so if you see slack in the line he is probably getting ready to take
off with the bait. You need to be ready to set the hook when this
happens.
Make sure you watch your line and that you don't just lay it down
without monitoring it. Otherwise, the cat will take off with the bait,
line, rod and all while you watch in amazement. You won't have time to
do anything else.
A good technique for both day and night is to place a "clip on bell"
onto your line and when the cat takes the bait the bell will sound off.
This is a good option if you have trouble knowing when they take the
bait. It will prevent you from losing your catch and your equipment as
often.
