Dovesun Catfish Float Rigs with Catfish Rattles Rattling Catfish Tackle Review
Our verdict
The Dovesun Catfish Float Rig 6-Pack costs $19.99 and bundles a rattling float with a 6/0 circle hook on each of its six rigs, a complete setup rather than just a float. With 400+ bought last month, the highest purchase volume in this comparison, and a 4.4-star average across 212 reviews, it's a proven ready-to-fish choice.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Catfish anglers who want a pre-rigged, ready-to-tie setup that pairs a rattling float with a 6/0 circle hook, ideal for anglers who prefer not to assemble their own float rigs. The circle hook design also suits anglers practicing catch-and-release.
Skip if
Skip this if you already have your own hooks and just need a standalone float, since you're paying for six complete rigs, not just floats. Anglers targeting species other than catfish should also note this rig is built specifically around a 6/0 circle hook.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Rigging up for catfish usually means tying a float, leader, and hook together by hand, a process the Dovesun Catfish Float Rig shortcuts by bundling all three into one $19.99 package. Each of the six rigs pairs a rattling float made with high carbon steel components with a 6/0 circle hook, built specifically with catfish as the target species.
At roughly $3.33 per complete rig, the price sits above standalone float-only products like the $10.82 Narcissus 27-pack or the $12.99 Demon Dragon 10-pack, but those don't include hooks at all, so a direct price-per-float comparison undersells what's actually bundled here. The rattling feature echoes the Demon Dragon's approach to attracting catfish through sound, while the circle hook design is a deliberate choice for hookset reliability and easier release.
Buyer demand data stands out here. With 400+ units bought last month, this is the highest monthly purchase figure of any product in this comparison, more than triple the 100+ seen on several other floats. A 4.4-star average across 212 reviews rounds out a picture of a genuinely popular, well-regarded catfishing product.
Pros
- Bundles a rattling float with a 6/0 circle hook in one rig, no separate hook purchase needed
- 400+ bought last month is the highest monthly purchase volume of any product in this comparison
- Medium size and high carbon steel components target catfish specifically rather than a generic species list
- 4.4-star rating across 212 reviews reflects solid, established buyer satisfaction
- Six complete rigs per pack means less time spent hand-tying terminal tackle
- Circle hook design supports easier catch-and-release handling
Cons
- At $19.99 for six rigs, the per-unit cost is higher than standalone floats without hooks, such as the $10.82 Narcissus set
- Circle hooks require a different hookset technique than J-hooks, which may not suit anglers unfamiliar with them
- 212 reviews is a mid-range sample compared to the 803-review Narcissus float
- Built specifically for catfish, so it's not a versatile choice for other freshwater or saltwater species

Performance notes
This product bundles three components: a rattling float, high carbon steel rig hardware, and a 6/0 circle hook, all sized medium and aimed squarely at catfish. High carbon steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant material choice for hooks and rig components that see regular contact with fish and bottom structure. The 6/0 circle hook size is on the larger end, appropriate for catfish, which can require a stronger hookset than smaller panfish species. Circle hooks are designed to rotate into the corner of a fish's mouth rather than requiring a hard hookset like a J-hook, which tends to reduce deep-hooking and makes release easier. The rattling float component works on the same sound-based attraction principle as the Demon Dragon float, giving catfish an audible cue in addition to the visual float movement, useful in the murky or low-visibility water catfish often inhabit.
What buyers say
The standout figure here is 400+ bought last month, the highest monthly purchase volume of any product in this comparison, more than double the 100+ to 200+ range typical of other floats and well above the 50+ seen on lower-volume items. A 4.4-star average across 212 reviews is solid, if not the top rating in this group, sitting below the 4.6 to 4.7 stars on the Alwonder, Torpedo, Saddle, and Thill products. Together, the high purchase volume and respectable rating suggest a genuinely popular complete rig that catfish anglers are buying in bulk, likely valuing the convenience of a pre-assembled setup over piecing one together themselves.

Frequently asked questions
What's included in the Dovesun Catfish Float Rig?
Each pack includes 6 complete rigs, each pairing a rattling float with a 6/0 circle hook and high carbon steel hardware, sized medium and built specifically for catfish. At $19.99 total, that works out to roughly $3.33 per complete rig, a price that reflects the bundled hook and hardware rather than a bare float alone.
Why use a circle hook instead of a standard J-hook?
Circle hooks tend to rotate into the corner of a fish's mouth rather than requiring a hard hookset, which reduces deep-hooking and makes catch-and-release easier, a common preference for catfish anglers. This rig ships with a 6/0 circle hook already tied on, so there's no need to source and tie your own hook to get that benefit.
How does the 400+ monthly purchase figure compare to other catfish floats?
It's the highest bought-last-month figure among the floats compared here, more than double the 100+ to 200+ range seen on similar products, suggesting strong ongoing demand for this bundled rig. A 4.4-star rating across 212 reviews backs up that volume, showing buyers are satisfied enough with the complete setup to keep purchasing it in bulk.
