cat rig

[staffordjonny]

Hi there, off on my hols in April to France and am gonna stick a rod out for the cats have never caught one so was wondering about rigs or will a standard carp rig do on a larger hook?

What size fish you looking to catch, and what baits do you intend to use on what methods, i.e Boilie & pellet approach, or livebait rigs?

i dunno about the size mate i dont mind really, i know the go big as far as i can tell its boilies and pellets that they use to catch them on just unsure as how to go about it!

[Bet]

I ordered a couple of ready made hair rigs off Leslies of luton, cos I didn't want to splash out too much on a load of new gear on a whim,they were a couple of quid each and the links are kevlar, they do a uk version and one for euro-monsters.Take a look here

I haven't had chance to use mine yet.All the cat's that my m8 has caught, fell for boilies on a bog standard carp rig.

45Lbs Quicksilver mate!! Mine have usually been on 2 hair rigged 21mm Hallibuts or 1 hallibut and 2 salmons.

My set up is very similar to that of a carp rig, just slightly longer (10-12 inch)
