I do a lot of trolling and drifting for cats on the St Croix and have played around with a lot of different presentation rigs. The Santee Cooper rig is the primary one I use now because it helps from getting hung up. I’ve always wondered what my rig looks like as it is sliding through the water and this Youtube video provides a pretty good picture. Sometimes getting that hunk of cut bait up in the hookup zone helps a fish pick up the scent a little better and to find your bait offering. This isn’t just a good drift rig – if you are trying to place a bait on a good current seam this presentation is pretty effective. If you have trouble getting bites with your bait laying on the bottom I would recommend getting it up about a foot or so and see if that helps you get fish. Check out this video:
