Every rig tied by hand with 50lb mono, heavy swivels, and 6/0+ circle hooks. Tested on real water. No shortcuts — because the fish don't give you any either.
We don't sell twelve variations of the same rig with different packaging. We make one Santee rig and we make it well.
Mixed color floats, pre-tied and hook-ready. Built heavier than anything you'll find at a tackle shop chain.
Free shipping over $40 · Usually ships within 2–3 days
The rigs at chain stores are built to a price point. Ours are built to hold a 40-pound flathead at the end of a long fight. 50lb mono and heavy hardware throughout — no weak links.
No machine-tied assembly line. Every rig gets inspected before it goes in the bag. If it wouldn't go on my own rod, it doesn't ship.
Open the pack, clip it on, bait up, and fish. No rigging on the bank, no fumbling in the dark. Tie your line on and go catch a catfish.
So I started tying my own. Better hardware. Heavier line. Knots that actually hold. After a while my fishing buddies wanted some, and here we are.
Blackwater Rigs is a one-man operation. Every pack tied by hand, packed by hand, and shipped out the door. No warehouse, no employees, no shortcuts.
When you buy a pack, you're buying something I made myself — and something I'd fish with myself.
Bank sinkers and flat no-roll sinkers to pair with your rig order. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8oz options — so you can order everything in one shot.
A custom design you won't find at any tackle shop. Flexible, no sharp edges — built to maneuver through timber, rocks, and cover without hanging up. Hand-poured, hand-finished.
Channel coming soon. Real fishing, real water, real results. No sponsors, no filler — just catfishing.
