Technique notes

• Rig the float so bait rides just off bottom, not high in the water column.
• Use cut bait or live bait on current seams, holes, ledges, and snaggy structure.
• In muddy water, lean toward the rattling floats for extra cueing.
• For Santee rigs, keep enough leader length to let the bait move naturally while the float prevents bottom hang-ups.

When to switch

Switch away from a float rig if catfish are clearly feeding hard on the bottom and not reacting to suspended bait. In that case, a standard bottom rig or heavier stationary presentation can be better. If you’re fishing very open, clean bottom with little snag risk, a simpler rig may be enough.
