    Agree with the TWC rods, I love em, again the reel seat sold me first the rest of the rod is a bounus. all are 7.5 foot sweet spot. Im partial the the mono as the braid can cut the heck out of catfish. No good when you want to release.

    • @hagengrubbsfishing
      @hagengrubbsfishing  Před 3 lety +1

      For a budget setup I would go with a ugly stick catfish rod and a catmaxx reel. I believe the combo would be around 120$
      Bass pro also has the st. Croix mojo cat rods, they are a very high end sensitive rod but are very expensive, you could pair that rod up with a Abu6500 and it would be an amazing setup but would be around 300$

    • @hagengrubbsfishing
      @hagengrubbsfishing  Před 3 lety

      If I’m in 1mph+ current I rarely ever use a float. Instead I use a 3 way rig to suspend the bait and I always have a couple directly on the bottom. If the current is to slow to make the 3-way work properly I add a small float. Thanks for watching.

    Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it czcams.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.
