Catching spawning catfish using the dipping technique

Catfish that aren’t actively feeding can still be caught by stealthily lowering a lure onto their whiskers and triggering a reaction strike out of aggression, or in response to a perceived threat. This technique is known as dipping. Ideally one would use a long inline rod (roepstok) with a lead head, bucktail or pumpkinseed lure, but I only had my popping rod with me and the fish were so preoccupied with spawning that they didn’t take notice the popper dangling above the lure so I didn’t bother removing it. My drag was deliberately set high to prevent the fish from running too far and spooking other spawning fish in the area.
