Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a ready-to-fish rig, so it offers less flexibility if you prefer to customize every component of your catfish setup.
- The 2.5-inch peg float is intended to suspend bait off the bottom, which may not suit anglers who want a bottom-presented rig.
- Built for freshwater catfish applications, so it is a specialized option rather than a general-purpose rig for other fishing styles.
