Basic Guide To Catching Big Catfish

[Music] all right people catfish Dave here today's video the guide to successful bank fishing for catfish well first of all be going a fish for catfish you got to have water we got that right here in this video it's a well-known fact that every state record world record all these catfish tournaments fish and shows on TV you know it don't matter all these fish they're catching or coming out of the water so you got to have water I guess second would be bait first of all you need to know what kind of baits in your water system you know if you're in a major river like I am and the Tennessee River we have several types of shad to skipjack herring which the shed and skipjack are cousins the only difference is the shed is a plankton eater and the skipjack is a predator it actually eats small shed minnows everything else you have to know how to catch these things well skipjack hearing they can either look like this one or they can look like this one you know they get pretty good size over four pounds this one here is probably two and a half the average ones in the country are about like this this is the king of bait during what I call the warm water periods generally about 10 months out of the year you get really cold winters they can prefer gizzard shad especially during a shad kill that right there is a gizzard shad since these are plankton eaters you're not really going to catch him on worms and crickets the only way you're going to catch these on a rod and reel is to snag them with the try well that's a whole lot of work and like playing the lottery so best way to get these is in a cast net like with anything in this world usually the more you pay for something the better quality you will get so when I get cast nets I look for what it's called true six panel design with at least you definitely want over a pound per foot the cheaper Walmart Nets Academy Nets got this 3/4 pound of weight per foot they just ain't nothing if you're throwing in real shallow water right over a tight school of baitfish you might catch some bait with it but if you're filling in a lot deeper water those little cheap Nets ain't worth the dang this here is an 8-foot joint fish net they by lee Fisher my favorite net he makes as a bait Buster but I tore up my last bait Buster and this was cheaper and basically learning how to throw one of these things it's what's going to make you or break you as a cat fisherman in most areas of the country in my section of the country skipjack is king of baits I fish them with a rod and reel the number one way to catch skipjack is tying a series of crappie flies or grubs onto a line like this I've got three of them one two three some guys tie to some guys tie for I've seen guys tie as many as six different flies or jigs onto a line basically you're making your own so beaky rig I've got different colors here it's like a chartreuse this has got some pink and green you know basically chartreuse and white are your main colors and you can experiment around but on different days they will hit different colors better with multiple color flies on your rig you can kind of find out which one they want more but that's it men you basically make your own ibiki rig and they're like any other fish they'll want different presentations during different times a year sometimes you pull them real fast and twitch them other times you pull them real slow you know just depends on what they're wanting that day curly tail grubs you can tie a couple them on there those work well and then I usually keep another rod in the truck for these right here it's called a Foley spoon you tie a 1 ounce sinker up above the Foley spoon for weight because these have no weight it's a little single hook spoon and these also work really good certain times of the year I carry both rods in the truck the cebiche style plus the Foley spoon style and kind of alternate back and forth and seeing which is better to catch the skipjack other types of baits work like suckers carp for cut bait and then we've got live bait get old blue gills everybody knows how to catch blue gills that's usually what everybody starts with fishing is catching blue gills as a kid I keep in my truck bluegill supplies what you see me throw there was a big slip float rig with a live bait on it having different types of bait in any situation is always good I've got a couple cut baits bombed way out and then I've got that live bait well typically if a flathead or something it's going to go looking for a bluegill where do you usually find bluegill a little closer to the bank I've got that live bluegill a little closer to the bank you can throw them on the bottom on a Carolina rig I like putting them on a float and on the bottom what the float little little fat gut blue cat to start the morning but anyway what the float is good for is it allows that live bait the freedom to move around they're not just weighted down in one spot when you weight the live bait down in one spot they're pulling against it pulling against that heavy weight and it wears them out tends to prematurely kill the bait and this way they can kind of move around on that float if they want to which helps keep your live bait livelier because he's not having so much resistance to pull against and also it's more likely to attract a flathead because there is more movement he can move I'll throw a big shell cracker out one time watch that thing swim about 40 yards one direction just all of a sudden boom big flathead just nails it that fish swam all the way back across that Cove he swam right over a flathead and got nailed that live bait went and found the flathead for me you know just because he was moving but the float is just a little different presentation I like using it especially in the early spring like I say a lot of guys just wait the live bait down on the bottom on a Carolina rig that works too as long as the fish are moving and can find them and I guess thing to talk about is gear well I've got all kinds you see that spinning rod I just threw that slip float out on now depending on where you live and where you're fishing will decide what kind of gear you need you can see how wide my river is here well I need to be able to cover some water around here so my main setups are these long surf rods with conventional non level wind reels what I mean by non level lines is most of your bait casters you reel them in and there's this line guide that goes back and forth and guide your line on the spool me I have to do it with my thumb my favorite reels are these Daiya Psaltis they also make a seagate that one over there is a cheaper sea line they all work the Psaltis has the best drag material and it's just you can catch sharks on this reel I mean you're looking at a little over $200 new from a place like tackle direct for one of these that see line it's a little rougher of a reel it still works my biggest fish was caught on a dial se line now you don't have to use dial WA you can use pins you can use fin oars you can use any brand you want to use these are just what I use now when you're looking for a conventional reel for distance casting you want a star drag which is this right here you've got lever drags where you operate it right here but the star drag is over here looks like a star usually and the reason you want a star drag reel for casting is it has multiple breaks in other words to control your spool to keep it from back lashing right here we have what you call mechanical brake or spool tensioner and what that does is when you tighten that that's what puts resistance on your spool if it's too loose it'll want a backlash if you tighten that knob a little bit it'll help you control your cast a little better you get it too tight well it'll hold your cast back so basically you just experiment with the spool tensioner if you're having troubles with back lashing another feature that the star drag reel have over the lever drag reels is they usually have centrifugal breaks inside I think our booze got like six pins this Daiwa's got two pins and all's it is is these little things that slide over pins I think on the others they're more of a fixed design but what they do is they expand out and like this die way it rubs a metal ring and basically it acts like a brake the faster the spool is turning the more they expand out and hit this ring and it kind of controls it either way you're still going to have to control it with your thumb otherwise it's still going to backlash so it takes a while to learn how to throw a conventional reel if you do get one get a star drag and there are some real it's like a kiyose the Abu blue yonder they not only have the mechanical brake they not only have the centrifugal brake but they also have a magnetic control I don't need all that and I'm not a big fan of the Abu stone and the a key is it's just a copy of an Abu these type of reels have a lot better drag stacks and I'm a lot better for big fish big trophy fish and I guess the biggest benefit to not having a level one on a reel is when you're casting these kinds of distances you're going to burn a level line up in a very short time you're constantly going to be ordering parts to replace that level line I get sick of that I get tired of that I just go non-level wind and also by not having a level wind that makes your drag just a little bit smoother because it's not having to work through that worm gear it will also help increase your cast distance not dramatically but a little bit either way I'm a non level one conventional guy you know if you guys want to use the level line reels and just replace them every four months six months depending on how hard you fish then go ahead and buy the level line reels this is just what I like to use a level line real will still cast pretty dang far if you got it on the right rod as far as rods I'm using these Akuma longitudes they're cheap they're like 70 bucks they've got a lot of backbone and basically it's allowing me to launch these baits pretty dang far now there are much better surf rod that will launch a bit farther and you're looking at $300 and up well I'd rather pay 70 I am just catfishing you know if I was rich I don't them $600 surf rods but I'm not rich I got these online Okuma longitude CX 12-foot for about 70 bucks I've even got a Amazon affiliate link that sells them sometimes are in stock sometimes they're not but you can find them also on walmart.com sometimes jet comm it's just about the cheapest surf rod that you can buy that actually has some backbone for casting there are cheaper surf rods and they're jump they just don't have any backbone and of course I got a variety of short rods forecast and live baits close to the bank with flat heads there's some places I fish where I don't have to cast a million miles and I can just use short rods or sometimes I got a bunch of overhanging trees and I can't use a long rod because it's gonna get caught up in the trees so I do have regular short rod seven foot six to eight foot typical catfish rods there's tons and tons of them on the market out there as far as catching my blue gills I just go to Walmart and go to the kitty rod section little zip code demons and stuff like that that's all you need for a catching blue gills for catfish bait they're on you around sixteen twenty dollars they fit easy behind the seat of your truck or something they don't get in the way of the your other catfish rods always carry one of these in the truck I got to re-rig this one it's getting that time of year I'm starting to use a lot of blue gills so as far as line that's a matter of preference I'm a mono guy that's why I'm using those great big reels I need bigger reels to handle lots of 40 pound mono if you're using braids you don't need near as big of a real you know mono and braid that's a different subject that's a whole video in itself I'm a mono guy there's some reasons ma knows better than braid and there's some reasons that braid is better than mono mono and braid that's a different subject I'm a mono got as far as rig's I usually just use the Carolina rig unless I'm fishing in really Swift Current my main line here is like 40 pound mono then of course I've got some sort of sliding sinker you can use the egg sinkers they've got no roll sinkers that are inline you can buy them sink or sliders and you can hook other types of sinkers to your line and use it like a Carolina rig and then in between the weight and the swivel you run some sort of bead and I'm actually using these rubber stops I like them a little better than the plastic bead because the plastic beads tend to bust on me with this weight slamming back and forth so I found these little rubber sinker stops to be a little better and then basically you go to a swivel and the swivel turns like that blucat you've seen them rolling and twisting and turning well that a week and you're not break your line whatever you know so a swivel is good and also when you're using spinning gear just you reeling in things want to twist up and that swivel helps keep things from twisting up so bad but basically a swivel is a necessity when you're targeting big cats just part of the rig and it's also what I attached my leader to like I say I go mainline 40 to a sinker to a stop either a plastic bead or this rubber stop to a swivel and I'm running usually eighty pound I think what I've got on here is any leader material guys use all kind of stuff some guys go to Walmart and buy the cheap eagleclaw just a really heavy line standard catfish leader line is at least fifty pound mono okay I use eighty sometimes even bigger that's just what I do and then of course to your hook and what I'm using here is the must add demon fine wire I've got it's nailed and what the Snell does is it tends to as the line tightens it turns the point into the fish's mouth so I always Snell those as far as hooks well there's a million catfish hooks on the market they all work they all catch fish I'm using these must add demons anywhere from the great big heavy wires to these fine wires I like them I've used Charlie Brown's I've used Team catfish you know now on my live bait I like them teen catfish double-action a tarts they tend to work really good on those floats hooks it's just all about preference there's much cheaper hooks than these online Chinese bulk hooks if you can buy those hooks and not find issues with them will save yourself some money I prefer to go with quality names so I go with the bigger guys you know it's all about preference that pretty much covers the basics people like I say cut baits preferably oily fish like shad or hearing because stuff like bluegill and stuff doesn't have the oils in other words there's more scent involved with the oily bait fish so for cut bait I prefer oily bait fish yes you can still catch a big head on a cut bluegill but I prefer the oily bait fish I just have more success on them you know whatever is legal in your area I've used crappie I think cut crappies way better than cut bluegill I don't know why but it is you know whatever it's legal like out in Texas or on the coastal areas mullets if you can get a hold of mullet it's great cut bait has a lot of scent tough stays on the hook I wish we had mullet I'll use them Karp makes a okay cut bait I still prefer the earlier shad and hearings but you can use carp you can use suckers I've done really well on a head of a red horse sucker thrown out any kind of cut bait will work I prefer oiler cuts for cut bait but you can get him on less Euler cuts like I say if they're hungry they run up on a cut bluegill they'll eat it but you will catch more fish you're around on cut bait if it's an oilier piece like shad or like herring or like even suckers are somewhat oily live baits man you can use shiners you know you can use creek chubs some guys use goldfish you know blue gills just I've seen guys use white bass live once the bait is live scent is no longer really an issue a live bait can be anything I've caught big flat heads on live drum just whatever you can get a hold up for a live bait a flathead elite it in blue cat will - you know once that bait is live you don't really need the smell factor of the oily meat so much because that swimming fish is an attractant in itself it has movement so as far as a live bait anything goes as long as it's legal in your state some things work might work better in certain parts of the country and certain part of the country flat heads tend to hit bull heads better than anywhere here they don't hit bull heads that great here you're better off with the bluegill or a live shiner or a live shad different fish in different rivers prefer different baits for whatever reason it's your part to find out what they hit in your River best you know time on the water will teach you more than anything it will teach you more about bait where to get bait simply by trial and error any time you have a good day on the water mark it in your head what was going on what were the water conditions what were the weather conditions what time of year did you catch that big fish at that spot and that's all I've done and I basically put together a map of where to go where to be at any given time of the year not only for the catfish but the bait itself probably the biggest key to successful catfishing it's simply the love of doing it and the love of being there that's what will get you to put time in the water and of course time on the water is what will make you a better fisherman few examples of hooks you know this is a team catfish a double-action it's a modified circle hook this hook you can set it like a circle hook or you can actually set it it's it doesn't have so much of a turn in that way to make it a true circle hook it's basically what they call a modified I get really good hookup ratios on my float rigs with these hooks and I also use them like for smaller cut baits when I'm throwing small baits like gizzard shad and stuff like that here's a big ten on Charlie Brown it's kind of a weird-looking thing it's a looks like a cross between a circle hook and a kale hook great hook for a blue cat and I've caught a lot of stripers on them this year that's a big must add demon wide gap that's a true circle hook right there you don't jerk those you just you see me start walking back with the reel basically on a circle hook you just start applying pressure more and more until the hook sets if that fish will swim out hard enough I could have simply locked my lever and when it got enough bow in the rod that would have set the hook that fish that you've seen me just land he was swimming sideways so I had to set it myself he wasn't going out so when you see me disappearing out of the camera screen setting these hooks I'm using mono I'm using mono way out I've got a big bow in my line and I'm having to get all that bow out I simply go until everything gets tight when I start to go if it immediately doubles the rod over right there where I'm standing well I don't have to go back it's tight usually that doesn't happen with this much monofilament casted that far out and the current pushes the bow in it you know so that's why my hooksets look like they do if I had braided line it would be much easier to set the hook from that distance out I don't like braided line I don't like tying the stuff I don't like the way it cuts my guides I don't like the way it wraps around my white swivel sometimes after I cast there's a lot of reasons I hate braided line and with my rocky bottoms and stuff it just cuts that braided line to pieces just like it cuts my mono to pieces and the braids a whole lot more expensive so I don't like braided line if you want to use braided line that's a whole nother subject that's all about choice it's all about preference it's late March right now it's kind of a transition period not my favorite time of year it's one of those months you can go out hook something really good or you can go out the next time and not hook nothing at all I'm about two or three weeks away from really good fishing where it's just consistent bite every time you go out and that will go all the way up until the fish go up on the nest usually around June they will start moving up that main channel I can go anywhere in downtown Knoxville and just throw a cut bait and bust a blue cat anywhere in that channel because they're active that are moving everywhere they'll find your bait I'll be catching fish out of places where fish normally don't hang when it gets that time of year basically just be prepared man have plenty of hooks leader material different types of rods different types of baits I've got a big landing net in there sometimes I'm fishing off bridges or docks and I've got to reach way down to land a fish well I've got a net with a long handle I mean just basically you get all your gear you have all your gear have a variety of baits have the passion to do this you will get on fish blue cat or Movers a place that [Music] that's one of them dag-blasted fish with the stripes on them [Music] yeah or them dag-blasted fish with the stripes on a man always plaguing us catfish they weren't a perfectly good piece of skipjack I've been doing this so long I can tell what kind of fish it is by the sound of that clicker I can tell you if it's a channel cat I can tell you if it's a blue I can tell you if it's a flathead I can tell you if it's one of them dag-blasted fish with the stripes on them anyway back to blue cat blue cat or movers a place that might not be no good for catfishing at one time of year could be good at another time of year for instance spring when they start moving up into that pre spawn mode they're feeding heavy you know these male cats they're out looking for a date you know so they go cruising man they're all up and down the channel they're everywhere you can throw cut bait slap dab in the middle of no structure at all just out there in the main channel and you can catch blue cat well other times a year you know they might set up on structure or they might set up suspend it off the bottom you know there's their movers you know you might get them in backwater of creeks into the first part of fall you know like the end of October whatever you might get them again in backwater creeks in the wintertime you can find them in backwater creeks when they go to get on the nest because those backwater creeks will have all kind of cut bank and holes and stuff they can get their eggs up in other times that backwater Creek might just totally suck for blue cat but they're movers now flat heads they typically like structure there are seasons when they do move you know like maybe going from summer pattern to a winter pattern some flat heads will winter out in these holes you know they may leave their spots in shallower water to go to these winter and holes and you can catch them on the move you know and then when it gets into winter you can catch them right on that wintering hole well you start getting into spring I'm catching flat heads just on the move out in the middle of nowhere because they're going from their winter pattern into pre spawn mode you know so they will move to typically once they get off the nest and stuff they typically find something they can get in they can get up against or get under and they like structure you know log jams huge rocks in the water you know certain things that they can kind of feel hidden up against but like I say there are transition periods when you can catch flood hits just flat out in the middle of nowhere basically you learn the habits of each type of catfish and where I'm fishing right now at this time of year we're into that transition period I can gig I could get anything here I could get blues it's not flathead heavy but there is some structure for flat heads out here I'm off this flat main channels out there and basically this flat kind of accumulates the khamar water and stuff will accumulate big logs and stuff that will settle in the current kind of pushed it up in there but it ain't quite strong enough to push it back out and so you start accumulating flat head structure out into these flats like this outside bends will accumulate structure core stuff like bridges is good you know during the warmer periods they prefer live bait and the cooler water periods I'm still in the cool water period waters below 60 degrees they typically prefer cut bait when the water starts to warm you're better off to fish with flat hits with live baits blue cat will hit a cut bait it'll hit a live bait it don't matter to a blue cut basically when a cat small it's an opportunistic feeder it's more of a scavenger sometimes it's what it has to because it's small you know small catfish will feed on smaller stuff you need anything that can because it's small when a catfish gets big it eats exactly what it wants to and at that point they prefer bigger baits they prefer other fish at that point a big 10-inch gizzard shad becomes a food for a catfish once they start getting mature I've caught channel cat on live bait I had a channel cut smack one of my live blue gills the other day big live bluegill caught about a 6 pound channel cat on it so channel cats little bitty you catch him on hot dogs you catch him on worms catch him on credits it'll suck down anything I can it has to it's got a little bitty mouth once that channel cat got big he decided he could eat a bluegill if you want big fish use other fish for bait stay away from your Vienna sausages and your all this concoction stuff and stuff you buy off the shelf go out here and get fresh natural bait from the waters you're catching your catfish out of that's how you're going to successfully catch big catfish year-round yeah somewhere back in history you know somebody eventually lucked up and caught a big catfish on a chicken liver or a hot dog or some strawberry chicken but as far as you're around success you need to be using other fish for bait on this setup here I've got three cut baits out long just over the drop I can say it's kind of a flat the buoys way out there that's the main channel and then I got one live bait sitting oh I'm gonna say that's 40 50 foot out but it's that bluegill sitting in maybe six or seven foot of water and that's just in case there's a flathead that's actually hunting a live bait this time of year he's gonna come shallow looking for a bluegill or something so I do have a bait set out for that but I got this spot covered from over there to over there from out there to up a little bit and if there's a blue cat close by he will hit that love blue gill you'll hit it in a second I don't expect any blue cat that close to the bank this time of year out here at this spot claudemir river system you've got shallow water shallow water and then a drop-off ledge ninety percent of my fish are coming off that drop-off ledge sometimes that drop-off ledge is close sometimes it's way out here it's pretty far that's probably 60 yards I'm hitting it easy with these rods there are key times to fish and one of my favorite times is the morning bite the morning bite can put you on more good fish it just sparks they're actually feeding they're not just laying you can catch a land catfish if you put the bait right in front of them but I'm bank fishing man I need kept fish on the move that are gonna find me so I need to choose times when they feed when they actually go on the hunt swimming around looking for food and the key times to do that are in the mornings seems like late morning tends to be best around 10:30 or so but it can start at any time in the morning could start as early as 6:30 a.m. and go all the way up till about noon usually by the time you get to noon it starts sucking you know you see the bites like way down another key time is right at dark or right after dark for some reason that tends to get catfish in a feeding mode where they're actually moving searching when you're doing this you need them to find you yeah you can't locate structure and stuff there's ways of doing that there's Navionics apps you can get for your phone and it'll show you the bottom of these big major river systems you can get Lake Maps locate structure you can somewhat go to the fish but in a spot like this I have no idea what it looks like but I can successfully catch fish here I see that buoy I know where the channel is I know this is a spot that will accumulate sunken logs and stuff I know we're in this transition period where fish are starting to move to get off a summer pattern they're starting to go into spring patter and when they're cruising up the channel flat heads are coming off their winter spots getting ready to go into pre spawn mode so I simply know by experience that even though I have no idea what the bottom looks like out here I can catch fish here today this time of year time on the water is key man that's what will make you keen to your River keen to do what these fish are doing experience you can't be born with it but if you got the passion you'll eventually get the experience one thing that can help you catch fish it's just to walk around saying here fishy fishy fishy that always works another thing that works when you ain't getting the bike is walk away from your rod say your trucks parked 150 foot that way walk back to your truck I'll guarantee you you get a bike leave a rod and reel lock down go ahead and walk away from your rod you'll hit it then you might not have a rod no more but you'll get a bite as far as key times for fishing where we're at now March through May I typically like the morning bite and I like the right at dark bite you know you can catch a fish any time of day these are just your active times you get into the heat of summer after they get off the nest you just about always get a morning bite it's super hot seem you know I'd go out for the morning bite man hit the main channel where there's plenty of current you get the hot water going on I like to have current I like the fish dams and stuff a lot because there's always current you know you want to keep the water good and oxygenated in the summertime so but I prefer a morning bite and the other time to catch them in the summer is late late at night I'm talking like after 10:00 all the way up until 4 or 5 a.m. that's the best time to get fish in the heat of the summer middle of the day is it possible to catch him yeah it's possible it's just slow man once we get into fall at that point I prefer a night bite right at dark to a few hours after dark once you start getting into the fall morning bite a seems to be a little slow in the fall he started getting around october/november I don't know why it just seems to be no you know this I'm speaking from my River Meyer the country where I fish winter time man you can catch them all day long you could get them in the mornings you could get them slapped up in the middle of the day you could get them at night you can get them late at night winter time of course your flatheads bout shut down in the winter but winter time you could catch a blue cat just any time of the day so there's key times at different periods of the year another way to set a circle hook is lock the handle and just start cranking it till it gets super tight then once you feel the tension come up with an arch and your rod i've just got in a habit of running from here to missouri that's all you know that's just me if I get another one I'll probably try to do it that way just to demonstrate it [Music] [Applause] [Applause] that's a blue he moved awful slow that was the way you just flocked the real down and start reeling man till you see a big bone line to come up this blue is biting me to death man he don't like me he just does not like me at all you know [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he drew some blood I caught that fish because I can cast six miles I'm not fishing a great spot here by any means this is simply a place you can pull down to the end of the road and throw off in the channel but there is fish near here okay there is some plot head structure near here there are some good blue cuts areas near here the main channel is there fish are moving through it it's transitioning from winter into the spring and so fish are moving and I'm also targeting an hour when they are most likely to actively feed and so they're on the move and so I'm getting them coming in here there's nothing great about this spot I'm simply hitting it at the right time once you get your gear once you get your bait probably the biggest you too all of this it's time on the water got to do the time people guys that catch numerous big fish over a period of their lifetime have done the time anybody can look up on one but to get numbers a big fish you're going to put in the work not everybody can get it on with those conventional reels some guys just don't have the knack for casting them some guys just don't have the knack for reeling them in you know if you can accomplish what I accomplished on spinning gear then by all means you spinning gear you know a lot about a lot of this is what you're comfortable with what works for you everything I'm saying in this video is basically what works for me I can use spinning gear but once I've used that conventional stuff I won't go by I mean I've got it for short-distance work on stuff you know but are you spinning gear for bait I even use braided line for skipjack fishing this is just what I prefer it's what I use what I like what I've graduated to after 25 years of catfishing the tennessee river system the main thing is that you enjoy being out here alright people we're getting close to the noon hour which morning bites pretty much going to die down now I could stick it out through the afternoon and probably later on this afternoon to four o'clock five o'clock might hooks a few good fish maybe a wandering big flathead who knows but anyway this is just a basic rundown of my rigs and what I use out here some basic catfish knowledge there's a whole lot more subjects that can be gone into in depth which would be just a whole lot more videos I don't really consider my videos instructional but I've had a lot of guys tell me they started catching a lot bigger fish and more fish since they started watching my videos so it is what it is if it helps people out I'm all for that basically there's lessons in all the videos even if they're not called lesson videos you know I say where I'm at what time of year it is why I'm there you know what I'm looking for you know that there's little hidden lessons and every one of them I guess basically if I'm using bigger hooks bigger weights bigger baits I need bigger gear to throw this stuff get it out there and be able to set these heavy wire hooks I need reels big enough to hold big quantities of monofilament line if you're using bread you don't need as big of a
