Hair rig for catfishing?

[Cyprinus]

I've caught numerous blues n channel on maize on a hair rig. Also on crawfish boilies n tutti-frutti n scopex boilies. All fish pretty much feed by opening their mouths to create a suction in a sense inhaling the bait. The hair rig and it's exposed hook makes it much easier to get a partial hook hold then when the fish starts running trying to dislodge the hook and weight you just set the hook. The weirdest catch was a 50lb blue on a single piece of artificial maize fished over a small bed of ground up rabbit pellet and birdseed. Hope this helped
