Great info. I'm a big fan of the Larry Muse style sinker. I'll be getting the book. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. 👍👍👍

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Matt!

[@stephenhair5501]

You have been busy!! Thanks for continuing to improve on the Dragging Rig and for sharing that information with your viewers. I'll check out Amazon. Fish On!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! I had a lot of free time on my hands this summer lol.

[@petenunnery2292]

Another great video. Going to try book. Tight lines Justin.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you! Hope the sinkers work out for you.

[@scottyhillakacatfishnfreak]

Very informative brother! I just won some drifting sticks from another KZbin channel so I’m anxious to try them out. Great post!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Scotty! Good luck. Hope they work well for you.

[@bobbynewton9247]

Going to get your book about dragging sinkers

[@SalineScott]

Dude... great idea on making a book!!! No wonder you have been catching all these big catfish. That’s a lot of experimenting.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! I just wanted to be able to introduce myself to people as a world renowned author lol.

[@joshmcintosh6107]

Best catfisherman on KZbin!...ill buy that book and any other serious catfisherman should consider it!...THX

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Josh! I appreciate it.

[@korecoa4102]

You should consider making a step by step guide booklet to show how you make these!

[@KayakCatfish]

That is a great idea!!!

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Have a couple of friends that fish dragging sometimes that I’m going to share this with Incase they would like to check it out. I’m not in a boat or anything enough to use them. Nice video Justin 👊🏻

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks for sharing Jeff! I really appreciate it.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Kayak Catfish have any tips for us bank fisherman in hopes of reducing the snags we get? Maybe smaller version of those?

[@KayakCatfish]

I never do any catfishing from the bank so I’m not sure what you can do to prevent snags in that situation. You might want to check out Catfish Dave’s channel. He is a legend in my area and fishes exclusively from the bank. I am sure he may have some advice for you.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Kayak Catfish awesome man thanks

[@robertculpepper1508]

Hollow pencil lead crimped on to your dropper with pliers. Put your line into the lead and pinch it in a couple places. Comes off if you get snagged and a long enough piece should drag nicely.

[@deerkings]

Great video my friend. I been wanting to make some new dragging sinkers. I made a few of them that larry made but I want to make some that you are talking about but I did order your book I cant wait to start making me a couple of them

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Brent! I appreciate you purchasing the book. I hope the sinkers work out for you. Good luck!

[@deerkings]

@@KayakCatfish Thank you buddy. I cant wait to start making them

[@deerkings]

Man I love your book it really makes sense way better than the other way than the other dragging tails

[@KayakCatfish]

Glad you found it helpful. Thank you for buying the book!

[@deerkings]

Kayak Catfish yeah your book is very on point. But I do have one question does the top still float like the other dragging tails that Larry made with the clear tubing

[@chetyoder]

On the porch in a tee shirt, Mmmm snowin here

[@KayakCatfish]

It is supposed to get cold here this weekend. I’m going to have to break out the cold weather clothes.

[@jimreed2842]

Just ordered the kindle book.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Jim

[@jimeastwood4422]

Been following you for about a year now. You are my favorite on KZbin. My question is, what is your determining factor on any given day...do I drift or do I drag? Do you try both each trip out and let the fish decide for you?

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Jim! I appreciate you watching. To answer your question, the biggest factor for me is current. If I don’t have any current, I will generally drag baits or troll with baits suspended directly under the kayak. If I do have current, I will drift with suspended baits.

[@k9kayaks]

Morning Justin been following your channel for a long time and saved this video. Do you ever use this set up anymore? Haven’t really noticed you using them. Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

I still use those sinkers when I drag. I just don’t drag baits very often because those videos don’t typically perform well.

[@k9kayaks]

@@KayakCatfish Thank you and have safe productive day out on the water 👍🎣

[@CC-CODER]

Have you tried your dragging sinker with your new Old Town kayak yet? Might be interesting to see if your luck changes too.

[@KayakCatfish]

Yes. Didn’t get enough fish for a video but the motor made it a lot easier to drag bait.

[@paulwarta5533]

Do you know if you could use your techniques for burbot? They are a fresh water cod style fish that eats on the bottom and is generally lethargic.

[@KayakCatfish]

I’m not sure. I don’t have access to those fish to try it out.

[@paulwarta5533]

@@KayakCatfish Thank you, I was just curious. Up in Alaska we have a distinct shortage of catfish, but I have been wondering for a while about trying some burbot fishing similarly to how you fish for Catfish. If I do it I'll let you know how it works.

[@KayakCatfish]

Good luck! I look forward to hearing your results.

[@survivingwith812catfishing]

Well you know I'ma buy it lol thx brother !!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

[@survivingwith812catfishing]

@@KayakCatfish hey man your a wealth of knowledge. Learned a lot and appreciate everything you do for us and the knowledge you share. Better than tv man seriously !! It's the least I can do plus I want killer dragging weights.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you! It’s people like you that make doing KZbin fun for me.

@@KayakCatfish 😁

[@FishingWithJBT]

What sinker for drifting would be best for more sticks than rock,i fish in a very stick area? I really wanna get into draggin

[@KayakCatfish]

I don’t really know of anything that pulls through brush piles very well. It’s usually not your sinker that will get hung in the brush. It’s your hook that will dig into a limb.

[@FishingWithJBT]

@@KayakCatfish ahhh Ok,i appreciate the reply Mr Johnston,stay safe out there brother! 👊

[@jjppsanchez77]

Interesting.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidyager4603]

I am making one now,question is it good in fast current while drifting

[@KayakCatfish]

I only drag when there is no current or very light current 0.5mph or less. If you just use them as a normal sinker when drifting with the current, the bait will get pushed out in front of the sinker and they won’t work as effectively.

[@davidyager4603]

I appreciate all the advice brother,i am all about new techniques when it is about catfishing been doing it for years now.i have gotten good at quanity of fish just the past years now it has been about the size.i always try to beat my personal best

[@MrPat1953]

If we don't own a Kindle are we just out of luck when it comes to wanting to purchase your Dragging Sinkers ?

[@KayakCatfish]

I made up a bunch of the sinkers over winter. I will have them for sale soon when I figure out the best and cheapest way to ship them.

[@MrPat1953]

Thank you so much, I will buy some as soon as you have them up, keep up the wonderful videos

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you! I appreciate your interest.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Oh My God

[@KayakCatfish]

I’m sure you can buy a copy with the money you were paid from your tongs video.

[@Zuperalexu25]

The Amazon link for the book says title not available for purchase...

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s odd. I just clicked the link and it worked for me.

[@Zuperalexu25]

@@KayakCatfish It worked when I searched for it on Amazon

[@jeffwhiteside1124]

Its been 4 years on these weights, i been following you for awhile now and have never seen you drag. Always suspend fishing. Do you still believe these are the best weights?? Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

I don’t drag often but they are definitely the best I have used. I dragged baits all over Hoover reservoir last month and am currently dragging at Sandusky Bay. Haven’t lost a rig at either place

[@jeffwhiteside1124]

@Kayak Catfish awsome thank you Appreciate your videos

[@brakemadness]

Hey Kayak Catfish I don’t have a kindle. Is there any other way a guy can learn your building method?

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I don’t have any print versions. You should be able to view it on a computer though.

[@brakemadness]

Kayak Catfish I’ve been thinking about this for months. Apparently all I had to do was ask my wife...she put a kindle app on my iPhone and bam! I just finished reading it. There was a boat load of good information in there. Thank you. The link for the extra video didn’t work on the last page.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you for buying the book! I’m sorry the link didn’t work. Email me at kayakcatfish247 at gmail.com and I will send you the video.

[@jasonburgess7572]

Hey Man U got any stickers

[@KayakCatfish]

I have some more ordered. They should be here early next week.

[@tnsteele95]

What is the difference between dragging and being suspended just off the bottom? Why would one be more effective than the other?

[@KayakCatfish]

In both situations, the bait is raised off the bottom. Dragging is better for situations where you have a lot of change in depth. If suspend fishing in that situation, you have to constantly raise or lower your baits depending on the current depth. Both applications have their time and place.

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

I just seen this on market was it your idea they took lmao

[@KayakCatfish]

There are many variations on the market these days.

[@chriswilliams3876]

Good videos, but Larry Muse gave his instructions for free.. you tweaked it and now are selling books off of his creation.. hopefully you will at least send him a percentage of your sales... great video

[@KayakCatfish]

So should Steve Douglas give a percentage of his sales to Driftmaster because he makes metal rod holders? Should TN River Monsters give a percentage of sales to Heddon because he took the hooks off of a Zara spook and called it a float? Larry makes great sinkers and I applaud him for giving out the instructions for free. I chose to purchase his sinkers when they were available to support him and I also made videos promoting him and his sinkers. My sinkers, however, are made from a different material, do not require trapped air for them to work, and are a different weight. They are a different product.

[@chriswilliams3876]

You're correct.. you can only blame Larry Muse for sharing.. hopefully there isnt a video on how to make your sinker after your book is purchased. I'm use to you sharing information for free.. first time a book purchase was required. I was just surprised

[@KayakCatfish]

I have no doubt people will be making and selling my sinkers. That’s the world we live in. I do give a lot of information for free on my channel and website. However, I incurred a lot of expense last year trying and failing on various materials to get a sinker I was 100% happy with and if I can recoup some of that cost while simultaneously helping people out who can benefit from the sinkers then I consider it a win-win for everybody. The fact is the tubing needed for my sinkers is cheaper than plastic tubing so the money they save on materials pays for the cost of the instructions. Some people will understand my views and some won’t. Nobody is forcing them to watch my videos or buy my book. It is their choice either way.
