I saw In-Fisherman the other day and Doug Stange was fishing for channel cats.
He using just a flat sinker threaded through the middle of it on the line, he alos a bead to stop the sinker and a hook with cut bait.
Have any of you ever tired this rig?

Thats the most common rig used here, but I like TH rig better still, I think it keeps your bait off the bottom a foot or so. Nothing says cats only eat off the floor.
I did fish with some other forum users a couple years back, I was the only one in the boat who used the three way swivel rig and shrimp, landed the biggest fish of the night, and I think we all landed at least five cats.
