A:
The technique that works best for me, because where I fish there's a lot of riprap and you can get hung up a lot as well as being over fished, is 15 pound test with a snap swivel. Put a 1 to 2 ounce sinker and the dip worm all on the swivel and hang on. Remember dip bait is not a magic catfish producer, no matter what the brand, don't get pulled in by the marketing, but it does work! You still need to go to where the catfish are. I hope this helps.
