[quote panamagixxer]This looks like a good start on rigging up???[/quote]
[#0000FF]Really overkill for Utah Lake. If you are fishing from your boat you don't need fancy. Just tie a hook on the end of your line, add bait and chuck it out. Put a bobber about 2 or 3 feet up if you need help detecting a bite. But the way those cats hit you need to watch your rod to keep from losing it.
I use size 2 and 4 hooks but size 1 to 1/0 would work for most baits. Unless you are using whole white bass or a big slab of carp meat you don't need any bigger.
That rig you posted was for fishing whole shad for big flathead cats, blue cats and stripers. We don't got none of those in Utah Lake. Darn it.
