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

The Madcat Screaming Profi River Rig Dead Bait (RR DB) is a purpose-built, ready-to-fish wels catfish rig designed specifically for presenting a dead bait on the bottom in strong river currents.

Built for Fast Water with a Screaming Subfloat

At the heart of this rig is the Madcat Screaming Subfloat, a buoyant in-line float that lifts the dead bait off the riverbed and keeps it perfectly presented in the current. The rattle inside the subfloat produces vibrations that attract catfish from distance — a significant edge when fishing murky or fast-moving water where visibility is low.

Heavy-Duty Mono Construction with a Matched Hook Arrangement

The entire rig is hand-tied on 1.00 mm Madcat Ultra-Soft Mono Leader, rated to 45 kg (100 lb), delivering the abrasion resistance and suppleness needed for rocky riverbeds and powerful fish. The dual-hook setup pairs a front 1/0 treble with a rear 6/0 treble, providing secure hook-holds on dead baits appropriate for the S size — optimised for bait fish around 25 cm, such as a small trout or roach.

Choose the Right Variant

The Screaming Profi River Rig Dead Bait comes in three sizes, each matched to a specific bait size and weighted accordingly:

• S size — 20 g — hooks 1/0 + 6/0 — bait ~25 cm: Ideal for smaller dead baits such as small trout or roach; suited to lighter currents or shallower runs within fast rivers.

• M size — 40 g — hooks 2/0 + 8/0 — bait ~28.5 cm: Better suited to medium-sized baits and stronger mid-river flows.

• L size — 60 g — hooks 3/0 + 10/0 — bait ~32 cm: Designed for larger dead baits and the heaviest, deepest currents.
