Can't beat the price for a rod like this.

I own 4 of these and had them for 16 years. Fished for catfish on the Mississippi River 4 or 5 months out of the year and they still are in great shape. But glad to see they switched to the stainless eyes. I have another one one order.

Could be an amazing catfish rod, but yet again, this manufacturer refuses to listen to their customers. How utterly stupid when they could be selling so many more of theses! The gimbal, which no freshwater catfish angler uses, has ruined this rod. I guess you could trim it off with a knife so it could be used in a rod holder, but why should we have to do that?

Caught a lot of catfish in canal and thank you for my dad I got him on these rods and he does not look back now and he bought me this a will be trying it out on Pulaski:)

I have 6 of the 8 footers and absolutely love them. I mainly fish from the bank on the Brazos and Red rivers. These rods hold up to the abuse that a catfish rod goes through. Thank you Ugly Stik for making an affordable and durable catfish rod.
