If you guys could tell me some of your rigs it would be great. If you could also tell me the things needed to create it. Thanks.

Catfish river rigs flathead or channel

For channel cat's, I run no leader, just a hook or dip worm, a bead to protect the knot and a weight. Since going with the no leader rig I have had fewer problems with snags and I've noticed zero decrease in the number of bites.
For flathead's I do run a leader, usually 18-24 inches. With flatheads it is always live bait and I feel it is better to have a little leader to keep the bait up off the bottom a bit and swimming.
i like to use a sinker slide then a bead (to protect my not on my swivel) than a swivel. on my swivel i usually use a 24-36 inch 20lb floro leader with a cirle hook. lately i have been putting a 1 and half to two inch peg float an inch or two above my hook to keep my cutbait up off the bottom. hope this helps.
Little need for a rig. For channel cats I just use stick bait. It most likely will take an once of led with a split shot to stop the sliding sinker from hitting the worm. If it's in current and ounce. For cut bait same thing except a 1/0 hook. For flatheads, same thing but maybe 2oz. and a 5/0-10/0 O'shounesy hook like an Eagle Claw 254.
