Catfishing rods
The size, strength and nature of catfish make catfishing a challenge for everyone. That's why you need a catfishing rod that can take the strain and serve as a faithful companion. Because of their strength and equipment, catfishing rods can also weigh a lot. However, there is no need to worry about this, as catfish like to hide in obstacles on the bottom and the spanking is done with the rod down. When choosing your catfishing rod, you should consider the following: the material of the rod, the load-bearing capacity of the spool and the ringing. On TackleBait's webshop you will undoubtedly find the right catfishing rod for you, as we have products from brands such as Black Cat, Delphin, WFT and Kamasaki.
In the case of catfishing rods, it is important to distinguish between trolling, boating and shore methods, as each has different requirements for the equipment. However, they all have one thing in common: they must be buffalo-heavy, as our target fish is our country's largest predator, which is not only extremely challenging in size but also in power.
In shore catfishing, you often need longer, heavier rods that can carry heavy lead, live bait or catfishing tackle over long distances. For these models, a strong blank and a durable ring line are essential, as you'll need to retrieve a catfish weighing tens of kilos from 50-100 metres. Nevis ' catfishing rods are designed specifically for these conditions: strong, yet sensitive enough to be used during the retrieve and offering great value for money.
Boat angling, on the other hand, requires shorter rods - for easier manoeuvrability and close-range pots. These rods are often between 2 and 2.7 metres long, with a very robust construction. Casting weights of over 300 grams are not uncommon, as only this type of equipment can respond well to the catfish's surprising and brutally strong defences.
Trolling catfishing may seem the easiest, but it is in fact one of the most technical methods, where the rod must be not only strong, but also fast and well balanced. Mikado also offers an excellent alternative in this segment - their trolling catfishing rods have a robust design, provide excellent bait control and are comfortable to use for long periods of time.
The casting weight range of catfish rods can often be surprising for anglers used to other methods - 200, 300 and even 500 grams can be included in the parameters. But that's another world, another café. The goal is to have a rig that can match the power of a 20-50 kilo fish, even when fished for hours.
Kamasaki rods also include reliable models designed specifically for catfishing, which can be ideal for beginners or advanced anglers - whether you're a sport fisherman with a background in boating or a specialist predator angler.
At TackleBait, you'll only find catfishing rods that really stand the test of time. After all, when the moment comes and the bite is there, it' s not the rod that can make the difference. That's why you shouldn't just look at the rod, but also the spool, line, leader and other accessories - we have everything in one place, with fast delivery and expert support!
