Hardcore catters know the right catfishing rods can make or break a day of fishing. If you ve ever gone one on one with a monster catfish you know there s a fine line when it comes to control. They re big, angry and powerful and wrong rod puts them in charge, not you. Pulling monster blue catfish off the bottom, yanking massive flatheads out of timbered lairs in river bends and finesse fishing for channel catfish is all in a days work for me. The first catfish rod in the Chad Ferguson Signature Series is a Medium Heavy action rod built for a variety of catfishing techniques and situations. It s truly a general purpose rod for every catfish angler. Catching big cats, finesse fishing for smaller ones, drifting, trolling, tightlining or slinging stink bait, this rod can handle it all (plus it ll turn heads with its killer looks). It s the only fishing rod worthy of carrying Chad Ferguson s name and the Catfish Edge and Whisker Seeker brand, it s truly a cutting edge catfishing rod. Product Features Proprietary blank construction built to our stringent specs as we do not use mass-produced blanks. S-Glass, carbon graphite composite blank construction resulting in a rod that shares the strength benefits of glass, but with the lightness/sensitivity of graphite and carbon. High visibility rod tip shines like a laser against the water so you can see every bit of activity when Mr. Whiskers comes along. Revolutionary composite blank with a strong backbone for winching in monsters and a sensitive tip for circle hooks or detecting lighter bites. 7 6" rod length provides the ideal balance between leverage over big cats, casting distance and versatility for a variety of techniques. Full SS black 1 piece guides (10 on Casting and 8 on Spinning models) for super smooth long distance casting and long term durability with monofilament or braided fishing line. Heavy reinforced Graphite double locking reel seats lock and hold without backing off or walking and built for long term abuse. Extra long handle and foregrip to control big cats, bottom bounce sinkers or finesse fish. Tuck it under your arm and lay down on a big cat and you ll feel the difference. Cork composite handles provide the look and feel of cork but offer a no-slip grip and durability like no other, catfish slime and shad scales wipe right off and it doesn t weather and breakdown like cork. Light enough to hold all day and strong enough to lay the smackdown on a monster cat. Large SS hook tender is there when needed.
