So far,,,,Rigs, Knotts, other good ideas:
Primary for catfish
Keeps the bait off the bottom, particularly good when drifting.
You can certainly use the same setup for both applications
by using an no roll sinker or egg sinker but making some minor changes will
greatly reduce the number of “snags” or hang ups as well.
Instead of using an egg or no roll sinker consider switching
and using:
Team
Catfish Smooth Operator Sinker or DIY
Snagless Drift Fishing Sinkers and a Team Catfish Sinker Slide
When drift fishing use a Team Catfish Sinker Bumper between
the weight and the barrel swivel. This will help prevent weakening the knot are
causing the line to weaken due to constant rubbing and banging onto the knot
and line around the swivel.
The use of these style sinkers when drift fishing will help
to greatly reduce the amount of “snags” or hang ups when you are drift fishing.
It won’t completely eliminate the problem but it will help to reduce them it.
The easy snell is commonly used when attaching circle
hooks to leader line. It can be used to tie any hook on the fishing line or
leader line though. The snell is actually knot a knot but a “wrap” Despite it
being so simple and easy to tie the snell is one of the strongest fishing
knots.

The palomar knot is used for attaching hooks or terminal
tackle to line. It can be used to tie any terminal tackle the the line where
you have an open end. The palomar knot is a “go to” knot for most
anglers because it is so easy to tie but it is also one of the strongest
fishing knots to use.
The Trilene knot is a great knot to use when attaching
terminal tackle to fishing line, especially when you don’t have an open
end of the fishing line available (like tying a swivel to end of the
primary line with the hook already on the end of the leader). This is a great
knot for attaching leader lines to swivels after you have attached a hook
to one end of the leader.
Additional Ideas:
Makes it easy to change weights (Cabelas?)
No-Roll sinker keeps line from twisting
(1-1.5oz)
Circle Hook, Hooks mouth, not into stomach
Peg Float (1-1.5")
