Well there are some mad catters here that can tell you 10x what I know, just search the posts...but my rigs are as follows
I run a lot of Santee rigs that I modify a lot. If you google Santee rig you will see lots of drawing of them. Mine is 15, 20 or 30# main line with similar leader sizes depend on what and where I am at. Leader length is somewhere from 8- 24". I run whisker seeker tripple threat hooks now- love them, size 5, 6, 8 circle hooks. Sinkers size and type vary depending on current.
I also run simple bottom rigs - kinda Carolina style. Same Google it to get some photos. I also run fligs in various ways.
Bait, is cut sucker and carp, cut yellow perch, cut white bass ( at UL only) or if i have them carp or chub minnows - dead only - no live bait in Utah. Some swear by raw shrimp, and others chicken liver. You can get into quite a fist fight over the best catfish bait.
I love youtube and recommend you watch some of the videos by carp and catfish. If you search his list he has all kinds of videos on set ups, baits, poles. Ext. Great info
