@@jimhalpert7442 well you aren’t going to stand up to a 50 pound snapper or 100 pound blue on that. Will snap like a pretzel. That’s why we recommend big so you’re never sorry
@@fathersonfishing3941 where I fish nothing get that big. it’s rare to catch a 50lb flathead most catfish I see caught are less then 10lb. It’s miss guiding to say you need that when you don’t.

@@crunchy5491 absolutely not for catfish!! We also catch 50 pound snappers on the bottom that will snap that like a blade of grass!! 30 pound minimum braid for catfish and you’ll never lose a fish. Tony
@@fathersonfishing3941 I have used ultra light gear for catfish its really fun you just have to be really careful because i broke one of my rods trying to haul a fish on the bank
@@quandaledingle622 absolutely not!!! We recommend heavy braided line so you can never be too safe! Do not spread nonsense on our channel!! Do that on your own. Tony
Best thing I’ve ever used besides cut bait and chicken liver was actually chunks of cheap beef. Blood in the water = BIG catfish. Also never under estimate a live blue gill (crappie is even better) about a 2-3” bluegill a foot off a big bobber early in the morning or right at sunset. 😎
@@Thealmightybyron try sardines smell of them catfish pike and bullhead loves smell of them .u can cut them up in parts or just use whole fish put hook threw mouth and head when u go reel it back in it make it look they swimming away from them make them case it faster
With monofilament, when the hook gets stuck, it normally just snaps off at the swivel and all you loose is the hook, a cork, and a 3 foot long leader. But with braid, it does not snap, and you loose your whole rig along with a ton of line you had to cut off. That can be 75+ yards of line left in the water if you’re fishing off of the bank. Not only is braid a complete waste of money, it forces you to litter and leave a shit load of it in the water. 20 pound monofilament is far superior for catching catfish.
@@fathersonfishing3941 that’s not the point🤣 my point is you don’t need a shark rod and 30 pound test that’s crazy!!😭 only real fisherman can use light gear and catch big fish

You don’t need big line you can do anything with a 6 pound like trust me, a dude caught a 250 pound world record alligator gar on 6 pound line

@@UltraMagaFan2 that’s why you keep braided line scissors at all times to cut at the appropriate spots.
Try shrimp
Yep we sure do. Works great. Happy fishing.
lol I just use 12 pound fluro on my bait casting setup and sent cut bait and absolutely slay 9-10 pound catfish

That fish looks comfy

I havent gotten a catfish yet still hoping to catch one

I caught a 5 pound channel cat on 10lb line and a dock runner with dough bait and a tiny hook, you dont need all that to catch a catfish

Me and my homie use bluegill head/tails and chum the water with the insides

Using something like panty hose to secure your bait is illegal in many states.

If you’re good enough, you can catch some of the biggest catfish on a 4 foot ultra light rod with 4 pound test, just gotta play em right
