BIG CAT

SETTING UP YOUR RIG


This durable fiberglass rod is hi-vis 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 or cut bait or live bait. The 8-foot rod length is also necessary when drifting or trolling because it keeps lines spread out to prevent tangles.
