Rods Reel
What is the best fishing rod and reel for catfish?
I am confused on what to buy…I don’t want to make the mistake of buying like a fly fishing rod/reel. Also, what is the best reel…spinning, etc. ??
Catfishing is about the only type of fishing I do except when fishing for cut bait.
Over the years of trial and error, I found many good combinations, but the one I am most favored to is the Abu Garcia Ambassador Red 6600CB with bait alert (clicker). Very smooth reel that is durable and most reliable. Also, for a beginner it is a superb reel because the setting can be adjusted for minimal backlashing.
Rods, there is many like the Ugly Stick series, but my favorite is the Cabela’s Whuppin’ Stick! Again durable and reliable to handle the big hogs! I like the longer rods myself, but that is different with each person who goes out fishing.
For line I use the original braided 50# spiderwire and 2/0 circle Lazer Hooks by Eagleclaw.
Rigging depends on where your fishing, river, lake, ect…
Good luck and enjoy the change going to a casting set up. It’s a whole new world of fishing.
