Madcat Screaming Profi River Rig Dead Bait — Ready-Tied Bottom Rig for Fast Currents

The Madcat Screaming Profi River Rig Dead Bait is a purpose-built, ready-to-fish wels catfish rig designed for bottom fishing with dead baitfish in fast-flowing rivers. Grab it, clip it on, and focus on the take.

Built Around the Screaming Subfloat

At the heart of this rig is the MADCAT Screaming Subfloat, which lifts the dead bait just off the bottom and produces an enticing wobble even in heavy current. The subfloat keeps your bait in the strike zone and lets hungry catfish home in with ease — no additional tuning required.

Heavy-Duty Mono Leader, Precision-Tied Hooks

The entire rig is tied on MADCAT Ultra-soft Mono Leader line with a 1.00 mm diameter and a breaking strength of 45 kg (100 lb). At 180 cm total length, there is plenty of separation between mainline and hooks. The dual-hook setup — a front 2/0 and a rear 8/0 — is sized for dead baits around 25 cm, securing the baitfish securely and improving hook-up rate on aggressive takes.

Choose the Right Variant

The Screaming Profi River Rig Dead Bait is available in three weight and hook-size configurations to match your dead bait size and current strength. All variants share the 180 cm length and 1.00 mm / 45 kg leader.

• SCREAMING PROFIRR DB 180CM 1.00MM 1/0 + 6/0 — 20 g: Lightest option, suited to smaller dead baits (~25 cm) in moderate current.

• Madcat Screaming Profi River Rig Dead Bait 40 g — front 2/0 / rear 8/0: Mid-weight rig for dead baits around 25 cm in faster river sections. Balanced presentation with the MADCAT Screaming Subfloat.

• SCREAMING PROFIRR DB 180CM 1.00MM 3/0 + 10/0 — 60 g: Heaviest option with larger hooks for bigger dead baits (~32 cm) and strong, pushing currents.
