Ratl’n Cat Tackle – Santee Rig No Weight

Introduction

The Ratl’N Cat Tackle Santee Rig No Weight is a premium pre-tied live bait rig designed for anglers who prefer to customize their presentation with their own sinker, bottom bouncer, or trolling weight. Built for versatility, this rig is ideal for targeting walleye, catfish, trout, striped bass, and other freshwater game fish using live bait such as nightcrawlers, minnows, or leeches.

Featuring a durable leader, high-quality hooks, and buoyant float components, the Santee Rig keeps your bait suspended just above the bottom, reducing snags while presenting it naturally in the strike zone. The weight-free design allows anglers to pair the rig with their preferred terminal tackle for trolling, drifting, or bottom fishing in rivers, reservoirs, inland lakes, and the Great Lakes. Whether you’re fishing structure, flats, or current seams, the Ratl’N Cat Tackle Santee Rig No Weight delivers a natural presentation that consistently attracts bites.
