How to Make a Carolina Rig for Catfish
- 1). Cut 8 to 12 inches of leader line and attach the hook at the end with a Palomar knot. To tie the Palomar knot, make a loop in the end of the line and slide the loop through the hook eye. Use the loop to tie an overhand knot. Slide the loop over the hook and downward around the knot. Lubricate and tighten the knot. Trim off excess.
- 2). Attach the barrel swivel to the other end of your leader line with a Palomar knot.
- 3). Add the egg sinker to your main line and then tie to the other side of barrel swivel.
- 4). Hook your lure, such as a plastic worm, an inch down from its head and thread again through the lower part of its body.
