Sinker preferences

[redcat]

So, just what it says. What do you prefer and why?

Many of you know that I can really only fish for channel cats. I fish the northern tip of the channel catfish range, on the red river. I don't own a boat yet so all of my fishing is done from shore. Fishing cross current can be tough if using the wrong sinker.

It is for that reason that I prefer the no roll style. Apparently style of catfish rig also comes into play. I prefer slip rigs.

What about everyone else? Care to share any pics

river sinkers are my favorite. i use sinker slides also, just so i can change without cutting and retying when conditions change

River sinkers are my favorite also. However, it depends on where and how your fishing. When im bumping logjams, I prefer an egg sinker on a straight rig right to the hook to help minimize hangups. It really depends to me on the situation and rig I'm gonna use, but them two styles are my favorite. I do use the pyramids often also.. rollo

I never heard of a sinker slide until I came on here.... honest. I can see the benefit of using a sinker slide but can't see playing too much with what ain't broke. If it was legal to use a second rod I would play with a different set up.

I fish lakes, so I go with the carolina rig mostly. Egg sinkers. Depending where I'm fishing and how far I have to cast depicts on the size of sinker I use. I am thinking of getting some sinker slides and seeing how I can use different sinkers with the carolina rig. Would probably be less resistance on the line when a fish takes off.

Flatheads is carolina rig, size of bait usually depicts sinker size. I also like a slip bobber setup also

Always no roll sinkers in rivers with carolina rig and normally egg sinkers when fishing lakes. Don't bank fish in lakes too often so try not to use very much weight since I don't have to cast real far.
