Does anyone else like fishing as much as I do?

          That would be one hell of a rod. I don't think they make rods like that for casting. I can throw about a pound of tackel at least 25 yards with my surf gear (now that I think about it, it's got to be further than that). That's a 12 foot rod and a very smooth flow spinning reel. That should be outside your boats sound range but I'm not sure you could make that sort of cast from a boat. I have at least 6 or so feet (sometimes more) of line out on the ground to make a really long cast.

          edit: That's with 30lb test. 80lb test would not come off the reel very nicely and would add a lot of weight/resistanse so you'd get a shorter cast.

            I might have a setup put together actually that could take it. An eight foor Shakespeare Sturdy stick, a Penn 113 Senator w/ bait clicker, spooled with about 500 yrds of Spidrline big water braid 200 lb test. I've been casting with it all morning up and down my drive way with a rubber weight(about 20oz) and it does pretty well. I'll try it on the tennesse next week and see how it does against some big blues.


            BTW, I've never had good results with spinning gear when going for cats. Nine times out of ten, the drag isn't strong enough to hold on when a cat runs down river from us. But thanks anyway.

              I bass and musky fish. Sometimes walleye and panfishing too... depending. Walleyes aren't too hot around here, ussually. But I love bass fishing.

                Walleye. Thats something I haven't tried yet. Mayby it's because I live in the south, or mayby because I just can't sit there and play with live bait for two hours. I do want to try it tho.

                    Fly Fishing

                    I just ripped some lipps this morning in under an hour. I caught a 19.5 inch rainbow trout with about a 12.5 inch girth. That makes it over 3.5 lbs. Caught him on streamer fly, a maribu muddler minnow that was white. Might not sound big but for the stream I grew up on it's big for me. Been seriously persuing fly fishing for about 3 yrs now. About to dive into the tyeing end of it too. I've fly fished the Big Horn in December when the "spawn" is on and have been crisened with the nickname. Spawnboy. Not like I've just taken up fishing tho, I grew up on it. Dad has taken me to Canada to fish northern pike. I have one mounted that's about 20lbs. Caught a 10lb carp once when I was young. Guess you could say it's in my blood.

                    Spawn on!

                        python, if you're looking for some serious cat tackle, go look at http://www.reedssports.com those guys have some serious gear for muskies that can handle large livebait and sinker setups. Bass Pro and Cabelas have some stuff as well. Look for a rod made of E-Glass. Stay away from graphites and pure glass rods. E-Glass is the toughest rod material out there. I think bass pro actually has a rod line up made for cats.

                        I went and grabbed my bass pro catalog, they have a cat rod lineup in it. Go to www.basspro.com and input these catalog numbers:
                        Casting:
                        15-111-606-00
                        15-111-611-00
                        15-111-622-00
                        spinning:
                        15-111-618-00
                        15-111-620-00

                        all of those rods are line rated at 12-30 or 20-40. The spinning rods are rated at 6 ounces for bait weights. They'll throw a LOT more than that.

                          Actually, I already picked one of those up. I got a casting combo about two months ago to get started in Catfishing and while it is strong, and definitely enough for even the most powerful cats, it's still not strong enough. It's a great rod for channels and blues tho. But I'm going after big ole flatheads. I think my combo that I built up above should do the trick. Thanks tho.

                            I just got back from Alaska where my dad and I caught about 40 8-10 lbs sockeye salmon on flyrods. Not to mention the rainbows, grayling, dolly varden, and occasional king salmon.

                              I fish once in awhile but I never catch anything.
                              My brother loves to fish every chance he gets.

                              Here he is with a 13lb Ulua
