BIG CAT
SETTING UP YOUR RIG
The round reel on this combo can hold more line than other reels and provides a stronger drag for more stopping power. This durable fiberglass rod has a hi-vis rod for detecting bites in low-light conditions and a strong backbone, useful for setting the hook and providing strength to pull catfish from their hole during bottom rigging. With moderate-fast rod action, anglers can accurately cast while also keeping bait secured, a necessary feature when targeting catfishing using the slip bobber technique. The 8-foot rod length is also necessary when drifting or trolling because it keeps lines spread out to prevent tangles.
