Ratl'N Cat Tackle Santee Rig

Ratl'N Cat Tackle Santee Rig is a catfish leader system built around the proven Santee Cooper concept of using a float ahead of the hook to raise bait off the bottom. Keeping the bait elevated can improve visibility and scent dispersal while reducing the tendency for a presentation to bury in soft bottom or hang in scattered debris.

Key Features

• Santee-style catfish leader configuration

Best Uses

Fish a Santee rig when catfish are feeding near bottom but the bait needs to stay visible and clear of mud, shell, rock, or light cover. It is especially effective while drifting or dragging across flats, ledges, river channels, and reservoir structure.
