Thanks, loanfish.
A T-swivel is basically just a regular barrel swivel (has no clip) that is in the shape of a T, so that you can attach 2 separate leaders, thus doubling your chances. I will often just loop a snelled hook through each side. You can then fish with 2 baits on one line. Sometimes I put a worm on one and a piece of carp meat on the other. That way if the channel cat fishing is slow, then I can at least bring in a few mudcats, white bass, or whatever to pass the time. If I'm serious about the big cats then I'll put a piece of meat on each hook. Here's a picture similar to what they look like:
The first time I saw them some asian people were using them to hook on two panfish jigs while fishing for crappie over South of the Provo boat harbor. I might be going this Saturday out to the bubble-up again, but I'm not sure yet.
BTW, a question for anyone whoe knows: How do I put the picture in the center of my post? Do I need to use HTML tags or something?
