i get my beads at a craft shop so i can get 20-100 beads cheap. And mark you can get rubber beeds at bass pro, some walmarts may carrie them, and the bait shop at the lake usually has them also.

[dawest]

I picked mine up at castaways I'm not sure if bass pro has them

any one ever hear of a TEXAS rig???

1.5 oz walker wt.---bead---swivel----15" of line to 2"cigar float----
13" of line------and then a Eagle Claw 4/0 Live Bait Hook----use live Izzy for bait.....

plan on trolling it back real s l o w .....Cast Away is a deep lake.
a TEXAS rig works good from a boat drifting..gets walleye real well..
I JUST MADE IT BIGGER..may be it would work on catfish too...
i have ask if any one ever try it and no one said any thing...
ANY ONE HERE THINK IT WOULD WORK???
YES-----NO-------MAY BE SO ?

[kingcatpaylaker]

never can tell, why troll it slow on the bottom just let the bait do the work for you, give enough leader and it can swim all over.. Thats why when i fosh the bottom i use alittle weight as possible. Just enough to get it out to where i want it to go thats all.
