I'm new to catfishing and I had a bunch of them on the line but they are getting off shortly after. I'm using fresh cut shad with a #2 trebble. The set up is a teardrop weight at the bottom going up 1½ft to a swivel barrel with 6in of line then the trebble hook. About 2 feet above the swivel is a very small float to keep my hook from going between rocks at the bottom and getting hung.
