It is very crucial to pick the right rod for catfish fishing. It may lead you to a big fish or back with none. They are tough and put up a strong fight, so you want a telescopic fly rod that can hold their weight and strength. Here are several factors to consider when deciding on a catfish rod
Size: Length The length of the rod IS an issue. Longer rods can cast further and assist more effectively in fighting monster fish. Shorter rods are a good option for small or obstacle-filled spaces.
Power: A rod’s power describes how much weight it can lift and how stiff it is. For cat fishing, good collapsible fishing rods must be heavy powered to hold the weight of catfish and should be strong to pull them in
Action: A rod’s action is how much the rod bends when pressure is applied. Fast action rods flex primarily at the tip, while slow action rods will bend throughout the length of the rod. For channels, a moderate to fast action rod works good for better control and hook set when cat fish fishing!
Baishi Pro Series Catfish Rod: This is one for the experienced fisherman. It's accurate and it's got some punch. You'll be able to hook set fast and remain in control during battle, thanks to its moderate-fast action.
A quality catfish rod should be strong, durable and sensitive. It has to deal with the weight of catfish and aid in accurate casts and hook sets. A proper handle that feels comfortable and reel seat that is sturdy is also very important. Its a positive if the telescopic carp rod is a convenient size to carry and store for anglers who travel.
In addition to a quality catfish rod, you’ll want a few essentials when it comes to fishing for big catfish. You also need a heavy-duty fishing reel with a smooth drag system that helps you bring big fish. Solid high pound test fishing line is also crucial, if not, you can lose fish or even break-off.
