Fishing rod for catfish
First of all strong and durable. If we are dealing with a big fish the equipment must be ready for it. It is worth preparing in advance for the purchase of a catfish rod by analyzing all the pros and cons. Where do catfish feed and what weather will be suitable for a successful catch? There are as many theories as many anglers. Catfish rods are rods which have been produced in such a way that their users can cope even with the largest animal.
Rod parameters - catfish hunting
And here various proposals appear. For some anglers the ideal rod for catfish is one that is from 3.5 to less than 4 meters long, with a deflection curve of 5 Ib and weighing less than 500 g. Others prefer even shorter rods, sometimes introducing their own modifications for greater comfort of use. It is rare to find rods over 4 metres long for a simple reason - manoeuvring them can be awkward. Also the thickness can determine the success of the catch. They are more durable and will hold a big fish. On the other hand, such rods are heavier, which after a dozen or so minutes of intensive hand work makes itself felt.
Catfishing - preparations
Not only the tackle decides about the success of the trip. In case of a fish like catfish - strong and resistant - the help of another person will come in handy. It happens that an angler exhausted with the fight gives up by cutting off the line and letting the fish swim away. Catfish feeding places are usually dark, deep holes, but it happens, that you can meet them also on shallows. To attract it it is worth to use bait prepared from red worms, maggots, minced meat and other additions of animal origin.
