In this video, I discuss a failed experiment that lead to me changing brands of hooks. I have used the Gamakatsu Octopus Circle hooks for years, however, this summer I have switched to the Team Catfish Double Action Circle Hooks.

Justin. I been following your videos for awhile now. I implement some of you techniques to my fishing habits. And I will admit I been doing allot better now catching catfish. But I do have a certain hook I just picked up recently with is the the mustad green hooks. They been doing great for me and my family since we all fish for catfish. The mustad hook shows they are made with a new technology that is now being used for fishing tackle. My daughter's boyfriend just landed a much cat last night that was his first ever largest fish he has ever caught. Where I thought he may loose it because of the hook. It did not fail him.

I've always used the knocker rig for cut bait fishing from the bank and never had any hook up issues. I don't use beads for spacers or anything though I guess it's a similar effect using a big swivel with a safety clip for easy hook swaps if needed.

Very interesting. I've ALWAYS had 1000X better luck with the Texas rig vs. the Carolina rig when using plastic worms, craws, etc when bass fishing, but since literally almost everyone uses the Carolina rig for cats, that's what I've always used. Come this spring I'm going to give your knocker rig a try and see if it helps me catch more cats too. Great vid as always, brother! I just can't figure out how people give your vids a thumbs down?!, you couldn't be a more likable and nice guy that puts out great vids and tries to help others catch more fish too. I just dont get it. Keep up the great work.

Good teaching moment video. I do the same with hooks....just on a much smaller scale....LOL. I finally found a 1/24 ounce jig head with a hook I really like but when catching those 14-16 inch Spots I found in battling those fish the gap on the hook was bending open. The bigger the fish the more it would bend. Which I find odd since I was using 2.1# and 2.3# test IGFA rated line. My drag was probably set at about 3/4 of a pound. So I guess my search for the best micro jig head with small hooks goes on.

Ive always loved the Octopus Gamakatsu off set circle hook. I tried out the Team Catfish double action circle for bigger baits, it has that little drop in the bend of it that handles bigger baits. We all have lost nice fish on account of the bait spinning around and the hook point going back in the bait. Have not had that happen with the team catfish hooks.

I have lost several fish every year because of hook turning back into the bait too. Hopefully I will see an improvement on that with the team catfish hooks as well. Thanks for watching!

I absolutely love Team Catfish Double Action Circle hooks! They have crazy trigger action when snelled because of the straight shank and eye. I think it still has a trigger action when you don't use snell's too.

Its kinda funny sometimes how things work out differently for different people. I switched from the Gamakatsu big cat circles to the Team Catfish double action circles. Nothing else changed on my rigs and my hookup ratio got way worse. So I changed back. Glad the change to them worked in your favor. My next change is to spool braid on a couple of reels and see how I like it. I'm curious about the difference zero line stretch will make. I may try to Team Catfish hooks again later with the braid and see if I like them better then. Great video as always bud.

Thanks! Sorry to hear the team catfish hooks didn't work out for you. Me being in the kayak may have something to do with it as well. The kayak getting pulled in the water when the fish hits may affect it somehow.

Several years ago I did some experiments on hook shapes on trot lines. I started off with every other hook being J hooks and Kahle hooks . Same bait on both hooks (cut shad). The Kahle out caught the J hooks 2 to 1. I then took the J hooks off and tried the Team Catfish double actions. The Team Catfish outcaught the Kahle by about 50%. I switched all the hooks to Team Catfish and my catches were really something to see. I would often times have over 50% hook up on the lines when the catfish were running decent.

Just wanted to tell you that I actually used to use Gamakatsu as well and I switched to team catfish and I also noticed more hookups. In my specific scenario I put them side-by-side to look at them and try to figure out why and what I noticed was the bait has a tendency to ride up closer to the actual Barb on the gamakatsu hook which I think keeps some fish from getting properly hooked up.

So Justin, out here in Arizona we don't have the bigger, deeper rivers that you have at home. So, do I need the heavier rigs that you use there? And, we don't have skipjack out here. All we have is shad, bluegill and carp. I've had pretty good luck with all of it to a certain extent, but not the greatest. Do you have an idea on any of that? The only other alternative is artificial baits. Thanks.
@KayakCatfish
@KayakCatfish 5 жыл бұрын
The main reason I use the heavier rigs is just because of the wind. If you deal with that, the heavier sinkers will help keep your baits down where you want while suspend fishing. As far as bait goes, I would try to use shad if those are prominent in your river. Carp and bluegill work as well but I would go with shad if given those three options.

I used to snell the Gamakatsu hooks since the eye was offset. The team catfish hooks have a straight shank so no real reason to snell them.

Hey Justin thanks for sharing your sweet findings. Looks like the team catfish circle hook has and inline eye vs the gamakatsu which has an eye up design. In my experience I’ve had better hook up ratios with inline eye circle hooks. Do you have any thoughts on this?

What’s the best circle hook size for 1-5 lb catfish?
@KayakCatfish
@KayakCatfish 5 жыл бұрын
For fish that size, I would probably go with a 1/0 to 3/0 size.

I live in Kansas City, Missouri and have used shad and bluegill all the time. I would like to use skipjack, but I don't know where to find them and how to catch them. Any tips?
@KayakCatfish
@KayakCatfish 5 жыл бұрын
Skipjack may not be native to your area. If they aren’t, I would just stick with the shad and bluegill which are native to your home waters. If you do have them in your area, fish the backwater areas in the winter months and the dams in early spring. They will spread out to the main channel in the summer months and then start moving toward the creeks and backwater areas again in the fall. Crappie jigs and foley spoons are typically the best baits to use for them.
@dakotastone468
@dakotastone468 5 жыл бұрын
@@KayakCatfish I'll definitely give it a try. I know we have Golden eye and moon eye up here so maybe while trying jigs for them I might run into a skipjack as well. Carp here is plentiful so I plan on using that too I've heard it's a very good bait to use. Bloody and oily fish if you haven't tried it yet let me know when you do! I've learned alot from your videos and enjoy seeing your success.

I use team catfish 8\0 and 10\0. I am glad to see hook talk but no one ever mentions the fact of sharp hooks. No one ever mentions this. It causes more missed fish than anything. The sharper the better. But anyway this is a great and informative video thank you for taking the time to film it for us.
