Because it keeps the fish suspended up in the strike zone and out of the large rocks out there. The bait fish tend to swim down and hide under rocks and never get hit. Plus the float rattle attracts as well.
Good video Jay! You make it look easy, like a duck all calm on the surface and paddpling like crazy underneath. I'll be watching for more videos from you.🐍🐍🐍

Whats the purpose of a float/santee rig with a live bait?

Thank you very much. I try my best. This is what I love. More to come for sure
@@TheAnglerJay Your channel is going to do very well if you continue like you are going.
What reels are you using brotha?
Okuma classic clx 300LA. Very inexpensive, and I've had them for over 3 years. No issues 👍
Enjoyed the video. Got to love that flathead time of the year
My favorite! But late summer is going to be epic.
U say your out with the family...but whereon earth you at buddy.what state river dam ...

What rod and reel you using for catfish rods?
These are MadKatz 7'6" med/hvy rods, with okuma classic clx 300LA reels, and 30# slime line.
@@TheAnglerJay nice. I like those so I thought I’d ask lol.
@@TheAnglerJay where did get them at? Bass pro?
@fishermanfelts1193 Online at madkatzgear.com, there are some discount codes out there that will save you 10% on your order.
@@TheAnglerJay oh okay. Thank you so much. Trying to get me a setup going.
Nice meeting you at Ft Washington Marina.
Nice meeting you all too. We'll see ya on the water hopefully.
Nice vidoe keep it up
Fun video. Maybe ya can aim a camera at those rods so we can enjoy those pull-downs😀😁
Definitely going to work on that. I want everyone to have the full experience. 👍
I saw my buddy catch a snek out there last year on the boat. Ain't no smallmouth left
I know one guy that's caught one, but there are still plenty of large smallies left. I tore them up last month at this spot.
I cant go anywhere without seeing these hellcat rods are they that good for real?
yes
The rods he's using are mad kat rods
Yes these are Mad Katz rods. Cheaper than that other brand. 3 years strong and I caught a 58lb blue last month easy.
@@TheAnglerJay Mad kats are all I use can't beat em an there store is only 30 minutes from my house
@tlockmane9873 That's awesome. I'd love to visit the facility some day.
Love it!
Man I know that spot lol😂
What state are you in? I'm wanting to go tonight but I think the spawn is started here in central Illinois

But soon
@@jimg1638
Yes, 8 days ago I caught a 36 lber. Moon is about full but I'm trying to go tonight
I am in Northern WV. They are beginning to gather more. It's getting close. Get out there and try for sure.
@@TheAnglerJay
I did go, 11 lb flat and 2 blues 15-20lb, with a full moon even. Good advice👍
@@naildrvr2047 That is awesome!!
Congrats
Nice video! Ya'll sure put up with a lot of bugs to make it. You're a natural for UA-cam! Suggestion: Make a few "shorts" .
Thank you very much! Means a ton. This is what we love doing. Plenty more to come. I will definitely make some shorts. 👌🎣

@@TheAnglerJay Me too 150 gallon bait tank in the driveway, normally full of gills, carp and green sunfish
Great video! You earned a sub from me!
Thank you! More to come 🤞
This looks awful like the dam in Fredericksburg Virginia the Rappahannock River it looks exactly like it just a little different from what I remember
It's a little rough. Definitely need a jet.
*Late spring. It's not summer yet.
Thank you, Elder Lord! 🫡.
Lol. It’s summer now in southern Arizona. Wishing I was fishing where this guy is at the moment
