Best Bobber For Catfishing: Best Catfishing Bobber | FatKat
If you are looking for the best bobber for catfishing there are a couple of factors you'll want to take into consideration. First off the size of the bobber. If you are fishing in big water like a river with a lot of rapids you'll want a bobber that is big enough that you can keep a visual on it even if it's far away. Additionally, a larger bobber will allow for superior buoyance when compared to a smaller bobber, allowing it to stay afloat and visible even in strong rapids. Finally, if you are going for big catfish you are going to want to use big baits so you'll want a big enough bobber to handle heavy baits and still float. That is why we designed the FatKat bobber rig to be the best catfishing bobber rig and not just that but the best catfishing rig overall for catching a lot of catfish and trophy sized fish. Our FatKat bobber is 4 inches in diameter and is designed to float up-right giving it the best visiblity for you to see it even when it's floating down a rapid 100 yards away.
Another consideration when choosing the best bobber for catfishing is the castability. A lot of bobbers on the market aren't big enough to be effective catfish bobbers if you are fishing big water because you won't be able to cast them out far enough and the visibility will be low. Of the big bobbers that are out there most of them are made from foam and aren't very dense which means they are very light - again negatively impacting the distance you can cast the bobber. After years of frustration of not having an ideal catfishing bobber we designed the FatKat bobber to solve this problem. The bobber is designed in an oblonged shape which makes it more aerodynamic and hydrodynamic - leading to greater casting distance and the fish feel less resistance when pulling the bobber under - a win - win if you are fishing for catfish. Additionally, we made it with a dense material so that each bobber weighs 1 ounce on its own - this added weight allows for something no other bobber on the market has and that is a casting distance that is in-line with heavy rigs like bottom rigs. You can cast the FatKat bobber rig up to 100 yards - greatly outcasting any competitors and giving you the ability to fish water other anglers simply can't reach.
Finally, we designed the FatKat catfish bobber with the environment in mind. Each bobber is made up of 100% bio-degradable materials which means if you break off on a monster catfish you don't have to worry about the bobber slowly breaking apart and polluting our fisheries with micro-plastics. After one year it will naturally decompose helping to protect the fisheries we all love.
