Should I Be Using Sinker Slides On A Boat While Catfishing?

In this video, I’m putting a new dragging rig to the test, inspired by a technique I learned from a Dieter Melhorn short video. The key element is using a snap swivel instead of a traditional sinker slide or 3-way swivel. I made a modification by removing the snap and utilizing my dragging sinkers that already have a snap attached. I also added the removed snap to my 4 oz river sinkers, allowing for easy swapping when transitioning to bottom fishing. Although I missed a couple of bites during the video, I managed to hook a catfish or two using this rig. Share your thoughts on this innovative setup in the comments below!
