among other things.......mostly so I can have 3 different presentations at once until I figure out which one is most effective on a given day.
what's your fishing pole setup
- Thread starter catfishspecialist1
- Start date
I use my Crusader the most because it has never let me I have never had a line snap while a fish is on it the pole has never tangled up its just my most reliable pole
I toss 3 out there and the action is great. More likely to find them that way, faster. Also can use different baits set to different depths. More rods you could be catching 20 catfish in a DAY
We 've come pretty closeI got this one early June - 42.5" Long, 27" Girth, 40+ lbs

Are you allowed to use more than 1 rod? I could care less, just curious about the laws in your land. We can only use two off a boat in the great Lakes, otherwise 1 only. They're strict here too.
in PA, yes....3 rods (or handlines), unlimited hooks per line
Varies from state to state, so I do my research if I fish out-of-state
My 3 go to rigs

I use my ultra lights like any other rod for most of the fishing I do. Ultra light = long game, as long as your hooks are sharp and your drag is right, all you gotta do is turn em at the right time and he'll come eventually, granted - twice the time. It will inevitably pissed others off. But 20 minute fight on a Steelhead vs. 5 minutes and still managing to land it is fun when it works out lol. And better if you intend to keep it.
I use my ultra light 95% of the time I'm fishing. Unless I know I'm hitting a snakehead spot then I step it up to the medium with the heavier braid
