    This rig is so easy to put together on the spot and get back to fishing. I use it as my drop shot rig for crappie, too. And your version of the Kentucky rig really should be called the Kentucky Flores rig because of the way you put it together. Fast and effective. Thanks so much.

      Would this work in a pond? Should I use a smaller weight for pond fishing? Would a circle hook work fine too?

    • @greenpea9412
      @greenpea9412 Рік тому

      @@user-hi1lt9sl8u Absolutely. You could use the smaller weight as you mention because you are not dealing with a current.

    Thank You. Enjoyed your video from the tutorial to the fishing story. Last week I started fishing for catfish again after 20 years and tied this rig from memory. I caught fish and didn’t have any problems with the setup at all. Your video came in my list of recommended videos and I’m so glad, now I’m confident that I’m tying the right knots

    Growing up in Florida on the gulf coast, learned to tie that rig 45 years ago caught a lot of trout, flounder, and other inshore fish with it... Funny thing is I stopped tying it when I moved to Ohio years ago... After watching your video, I'm going to use this rig again...

  • @littlejoe9381
    @littlejoe9381 3 роки тому

    Thanks for the demonstration. I enjoyed your story about your dad. My dad also taught me and my brother how to fish when I was a little girl. My brother never really cared for fishing, but I did and I still do to this day. My father always caught mostly bass, crappie and bluegill. I have caught a few catfish throughout the years, but they just happen take the bait. Now, I want to learn how to fish specifically for catfish so I appreciate your taking out the time to make and upload this video. Fishing is not the same now that my father is no longer here, ( he fell asleep in death in 2015). And it has been a while since I have gone fishing because I just don’t have much time, and I don’t know many people who like to fish. Of course the coronavirus pandemic didn’t help. However, I just can’t get fishing out of my system. Whenever I see someone else catching “ the big one”, or even when I go by the sporting goods section of Walmart, I see those rods, reels, hooks and lures and it makes me want to go somewhere and drop that hook in the water. Anyway, thanks again for the video.

    The Kris Rig (or Kentucky Rig) makes so much more sense than the Carolina Rig! The bait on yours is OFF the bottom where it can be smelled and seen more easily. So now I know how you do it! This has been a great lesson to me! I've wondered but I've been too embarrassed to ask you how you rig. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge my friend!

  • @brett7476
    @brett7476 7 років тому +1

    I use that rig too but I have been tieing it with a three-way swivel. This is so I can use a weaker line for the lead weight in case it gets hung. I think I like your way better because it's faster and less trouble and I can't remember many times I had to break the line because the weight got hung. Great videos.

    I been catching catfish using that same rig. My Grandpa taught me. Sometimes I get technical & use swivels on the Hook end, Since cats like to spin. The goal is to keep the hook off the bottom & just high enuff where the catfish are. Especially if fishing in creek with logs and other hang-ups.

    The rig was a lesson for you both were you wanting to show your dad and your dad learning humility but he's right he was fishing before you're around don't get too cocky with that you might have a six-year-old or an eight-year-old show you something down the road when you're an old man just do it!!!!! I have two sons and a daughter and believe I fish with all of them and it's so much about just being with each other when you catch fish that's just a bonus!!!!

One down by the sinker about 8inches above and one about 10-12inches above the bottom hook (where it is put on the main line) it really worked well for suckers would work on catfish but if you fought 2 bigger ones it could break your line

I'm 20 now and i use a Carolina rig with 1.5oz flat sliding weight 50lb braided main line and a mono leader with a 2 snelled hooks one at the top of my cut bait and one at the bottom. where i live there is a big issue with aggressive short bites and then losing bait or the fish just not coming back; thus the double hook. Hope my rig can help someone!
