I actually started fishing catfish when i was young. Really only fished cats. Ive been fishing bass now though so long i dont know what to use. I really want to do some nite cat'n. i want three rigs quality but on the cheap. What do i get? Reals and rods. MH or medium?

you like spinning or baitcast. you on the boat or bank?

I saw this post like 5 time the last 4 weeks. Lol. It always had the same 1st and 2nd post.

yep

Boat. Really like spinning for cats. Casters for bass

Sorry man baby had me runn. You got any info for me.

salt striker reels
okuma avenger reel
Quantum optix reel
pro angler rods
catfish ugly stick rod
academy yellow rod cheap but battle tested, not sure if they have a spinning version

If I were buying them I'd go with the salt striker 50 or 65 size with a pro angler rod, but there are cheaper options that have been battle tested here and will work!

Thanks man, ill start there and check them out. What do those reels run

click on them. The old version of the salt strikers are on sale right now and run 40-50
Pro angler rods are 42-45 I think

Pro Angler rods are $42 for Eva handles $45 for cork. Look at the link in my sig for more info and pricing. Buy 5 and save.

Ahha! Thanks again

That salt striker looks good

Great reels. I've got a bunch of them.

Cheap but decent is Qauntum Optix 60's for $24.99 at Academy on 8' Shimano MH rods - FXS-80MHB-2 for $14.99 at Academy spooled with 25 lb Big Game mono or 60 lb Texas Tough Braid.

This + This + This = Not Half Bad on The Cheap
