Catfish fishing is a freshwater adventure that requires suitable equipment, especially when using the casting technique. A casting rod specifically for catfish is designed to withstand the challenges imposed by these large fish while being able to effectively cast large lures.
The
catfish casting rod differs from the spinning rod. It is specially designed to be used with a casting reel, which is located above the rod. This facilitates the precise casting of large lures, which is essential when stalking the big fish like catfish. A casting rod can also be used during vertical fishing as it is easier with the reel trigger to change the level of your lure or live bait. Another interest is to have superior traction power with a rotating drum (casting) compared to a fixed drum (spinning).
Some rods designed for the big bait of pikes and black bass can be adapted for catfish in their most powerful versions. Otherwise, catfish brands like
Black Cat , or
Zeck have also dedicated specialized catfish rods. If we have brought together all the catfish casting rods here among all the
catfish rods, you can find other models with a reel holder suitable for fixed drum spinning reels here:
