Catfish Stalker
FLOAT FISHING INSTRUCTIONS & TIPS

The "Catfish Stalker" Float, when used properly, can be your best ally for catching any species of Catfish; whether it be the Flathead, Blue, or Channel Cat.

There are several factors to know to be the most efficient with your float. First, fishing the right type of water where catfish are feeding. Second, fishing the proper depth. Third, choosing the right float for the job. Combine these three factors and you will be on your way to catfish success!

  1. Thread your main line through the tube with the stop knot on it, slip the stop knot off of the tube and remove the tube from line.
  2. Pull each "tag" end to secure the knot. Trim the ends of the "tag" at 1/2".
  3. Then, place a stop bead on the line, the Catfish Stalker Float, the proper weight of egg sinker (balanced to the size of float allowing for the weight of the bait), and another stop bead.
  4. Next, tie a barrel swivel or a three-way swivel to the end of the main line. If you choose a barrel swivel...make an 18" "hook drop" and use a snell knot to attach your hook. If you use a three-way swivel, the first "hook drop" should be 8" long and the second "hook drop" should be 24" long (with a barrel swivel attached in the middle of the drop line to allow the lower bait to move).
  5. Determine your "first" depth to fish and set the stop knot at that depth.
  6. Set each rod out different depths if fishing low current areas or still water. Once the depth of the active fish is determined, set all "Stalkers" to this depth.
  7. Cast out and stagger the distances between "Stalkers" to determine which area the fish are feeding.
  8. If you have had no "Action" after 20 to 30 minutes, reposition the baits by recasting or release 30 to 50 feet of line per rod.
  9. Multiple bait rigs (mentioned above) allow you to fish more than one bait. Example: Fish a live bait on the bottom hook and a fillet on the top hook. Bait multiple rods with different baits and the fish will "tell you" what their preference is.
  10. Flathead Catfish are generaly close to the bottom, so set live baits no more than1 to 2 feet off the bottom...normally near standing timber log jams or submerged rocks or wood.
  11. Blues and Channels will feed actively on the bottom, suspended off the bottom at different levels; sometimes they feed just below the surface of the water. Set your "Stalker Float" at different depths to determine the area the catfish are feeding at that time.

[image] Catfish StalkerThe "Catfish Stalker" Float comes in 5 different sizes so you can choose the right float for the job. For top performance always balance your float by using the weight it's rated for. Note: The floats are rated to include the total weight of the sinker plus the bait.
