Hair rig for catfishing?

[jackherber]

The hair rig is not really necessary. Cats are not really finnicky but they will "taste" the bait sometimes. What they are doing is bumping the bait off the bottom and touching it with their mouths. I suppose there are certain situations where such an extreme finnesse presentation would work but for the most part you want a LARGE piece of bait out there. Hair rigs don't really lend themselves to large bait. Of more importance would be the freshness of the bait.
