Boss Kat Sinker Slides & Knot Protectors
By Keith “Catfish” Sutton
When it comes to catfishing, little details in your terminal tackle can make a big difference. Two often-overlooked components—sinker slides and knot protectors—can help you build better rigs that are more sensitive, more adaptable and less prone to failure. Boss Kat offers both in angler-friendly designs that simplify rigging while boosting performance.
Boss Kat Sinker Slides
If you fish with sliding sinkers, you know the importance of a smooth, reliable slide. Boss Kat Sinker Slides are made from durable, braid-friendly materials that allow your line to move freely while keeping your sinker locked in place on the bottom. That means catfish can take the bait without feeling resistance—a big advantage when targeting wary fish.
One of the best features of these slides is the ability to adjust sinker placement without cutting your line. That’s especially useful when fishing conditions change and you need to tweak your presentation quickly. Whether you’re fishing shallow flats or deeper holes, these slides give you the versatility to adapt on the fly.
- Slides allow free line movement without shifting the sinker
- Make rigging and weight changes simple
- Compatible with a variety of sinker types and sizes
- Available in medium (6-pack) or large (5-pack)
Boss Kat Sinker Slides allow your line to glide freely while your weight stays put—perfect for subtle bites and easy sinker adjustments without retying.
Boss Kat Knot Protectors absorb shock and shield your knots from sinker impact, reducing frays and break-offs when the big ones hit.
This rig shows the full setup in action: a heavy pyramid sinker attached to a Boss Kat Sinker Slide, with a Knot Protector cushioning the knot for added durability. It’s a tough, tangle-free rig built to battle big cats.
Boss Kat Knot Protectors
Your rig is only as strong as its weakest point—and that’s often the knot. Heavy sinkers slamming into knots during casting or fighting a fish can weaken or fray the line, leading to break-offs. Boss Kat Knot Protectors solve that problem by cushioning the knot and absorbing impact.
These tough rubber bumpers slip over your line and rest between the sinker and the knot, preventing direct contact and extending the life of your rig. Whether you’re drifting, bottom bouncing or casting from the bank, Knot Protectors give you peace of mind that your connection won’t give out during the fight.
- Cushions knots to prevent fraying and failure
- Absorbs sinker impact
- Comes 8 per pack
