How to tie a circle hook for catfish rigs:

  1. The best catfish hook size is a 7/0 Barefoot Catfish Circle Hook and rigged weedless. (watch the video)
  2. Bait with a strip of shad. It’s best to descale the shad otherwise it’s possible to get a scale on the point of the circle hook and it will not “set” properly.

How to make a Smell Trail for Catfish:

  1. Make the most of other bait when shad is nonexistent – a bream (bluegill) will do in a pinch!
  2. All you need is a bream, a sharp knife, and a cutting board.
  3. You are basically filleting both sides of the bream and removing the backbone that will make a built-in chum slick that catfish cannot ignore.
  4. Throw the remnants in the water and you’ll make a chummed up smell trail.

To rig the 7/0 Catfish Circle Hook: all you need is a bream, a sharp knife, and a cutting board. Both videos above can be viewed in their entirety by visiting Tim Barefoot’s Youtube channel. Or, view these title’s “Snag Resistant Circle Hook Chin Weight“and “Butterfly a Bait.“
