FAQs
Can I use this rig with boilies instead of pellets?
This rig is specifically optimized for pellets, but it may function with hard boilies of a similar size, provided they can be threaded onto the hair.
Is the 2/0 hook size suitable for all catfish sizes?
The 2/0 hook is a versatile standard size, but always ensure your gear is matched to the specific size of catfish you intend to target.
Do I need a bait stop?
No, the Madcat Standard Pellet Rig is designed specifically to hold pellets without a traditional bait stop.
How do I attach this to my main line?
You should use a high-strength swivel that is compatible with the 0.80mm line diameter for a secure knot.
Can I shorten the 60cm leader?
While you can shorten the rig, it is pre-tied for optimal performance; modifying the length may require re-tying the terminal knot.
Troubleshooting
Bait sliding off the hair during cast
Ensure the loop is tightened properly and, if using two pellets, verify that the hair loop is securely wrapped over the final pellet.
Line shows slight signs of abrasion
Check the surrounding water for sharp rocks or zebra mussels; if fraying is significant, replace the rig immediately to prevent failure under load.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This rig is intended for use with standard catfish pellets. To ensure longevity, always inspect the 0.80mm line for signs of fraying after each successful landing or if the rig has been dragged through rocky structures. While the rig is highly reliable, ensure that your swivel and main line connection are equally robust to match the rig's breaking strain. After a fishing session, rinse the rig in fresh water to remove any river silt or organic matter, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent line degradation.
