Best/most common cat fishing rig for lakes that I should start with?

Hi Guys,
So I've gotten back into cat fishing over the past week and was curious about the type of cat fishing rig I should be using for lakes?
We have a great many lake reservoirs here in Dallas and I'm gonna do some bank fishing on them to get my feet wet over the next few weeks. Reading up I see that there are a few rigs that could be used but I was curious about what kind I should start with that will give me the greatest success on the lakes.

It will depend on depth and current but if you're fishing from the bank on a still reservoir you really can't go wrong as long as it has a hook and a little weight.
Some people prefer circle hooks, I find j-hooks tend to do better. Cork or no cork will again depend on depth, I would try both until you find what they like.

There are a few stocked ponds here in Dallas as well. Gonna try that first to get technique down.

I usually do a carolina rig or drop shot if tight lining.

I have always used a drop shot type rig, but I use a loop instead for the hook. My father used to just tie two loops to the end of every line. That way, he could simply remove the weight and hook when done fishing and return them to the box.

Clyde, what is the name of that weight you have on the Carolina rig? I've seen it on a few rig videos.

Carolina Rig with a Noodle float FTW!

I would say 3/8oz minimum so the float doesn't lift the weight off the bottom. Other than that, it'll be totally dependent on depth and current. I almost always start with 1/2oz and go up from there if necessary.

The cane pole and 5 gallon bucket setup is popular.
