"Flaits" are generally Pisco's term for using a floating "Wobble-Glo" on the line between the sinker and the baited hook. Like fligs, spin-n-glos and other colorful floating goodies they are designed to add color and keep the bait a bit off the bottom. Plus, the slanted face of the Wobble-glo acts like the bill on a Rapala...it catches the water and wobbles back and forth. See pic.
There are a ton of rigs that incorporate colorful floats to add motion or flash and to present the bait above the bottom. The first was probably the Santee rig...as covered in the attached writeup. Lots of stuff available in tackle shops and online. Much of it was originally developed for salmon and steelhead. But catfish can't read the directions.
