I am often asked "What is the" best "bar to use?" For this or that.

'Best' is a term relative. There are many different types to do the work, so much of it comes down to what you prefer to use. So all I can do is give my opinion of what I believe that is the best type for a given situation.

Catfishing covers a large amount of territory, only a fraction of what it means rods. And what would be best for channel catfish from the bank, would be almost useless for trophy flatheads Blue Catfish or a boat. When selecting a bar, bear in mind that even if you are fishing for channel cats in the range of 1.5 pounds, there is always the possibility that assembles into a monster blue or Flathead. I'm going from the smallest and simplest to large so it is easy to understand the full extent.

At the lower end of the spectrum, we have a bull's head, usually caught from shore. For these fun little guys, nothing but a cane pole and a can of worms that is needed. I spent many afternoons pulling in these tasty morsels. What they lack in size, making up for being at once easy to catch and delicious. Bullhead While the world record was about 8 pounds., Most of them will catch a pound.

To more technical, almost any ultralight or light action rod is sufficient. You can even fly fish for them. I'm partial to the Zebco Micro Spin series, but for get the best of both worlds between cane fishing pole, and ultralight spinning, try a crappie pole in the 12 'length. I use B & M models a large number of small and medium fish from shore.

For channel catfish in the range of 1-15 pounds, I prefer a 6 '9 " 'action Ugly Stick Tiger Rod Lite medium. They are short enough to be user-friendly and delivery of a boat, and have a good strong backbone to cover catfish agitated if necessary. They are also incredibly difficult. They are light enough to hold comfortably and have a long handle for leverage. The action environment is sufficiently sensitive to detect the bite of shy sometimes, Channel Cats.

They can be issued with softness, and / or flipped, making it a good choice for the use of toothpaste or prepared bait, in order not to sling the bait the hook. For fishing from shore in calm to moderate water movement, I prefer action 8 'Middle Big Ugly Stick rotating water bar. The extra length comes in handy when fishing the bank.

For more channel catfish and blues of a boat, I prefer the Eagle Claw GRX Series. I I know you will say "But these are salmon and Steelhead Rods!". That may be the case, but are also ideal for large catfish from a boat. They are resistant and durable, have good long-handled fish agitated when necessary, and have a good backbone heavy big fish to be agitated.

Also have a faster action than most of the heaviest bars designed for catfish, so it is easier to detect a hit when not in use a clicker bait. The faster action is easier to live bait when quality.

For large catfish in the range of 20-40 lb of coastline. while still and fast water, I prefer a 12 'heavy action Ugly Stick Big Water Casting Rod. They are tough enough to handle freshwater fish larger in the conditions more demanding. Your muscles will fail before this bar does! It's my bar of choice for Gar, Sturgeon (where legal) and Middle saltwater species.

Of course the giants of the world catfish over 40 pounds., My choice hands down is Cabelas King Cat E-Glass rods of the length of 9 '. These are the bars premium for the big fish. They have double leg, double wrapped and sealed ceramic guides, so as not to loose to fight a big fish.

They stainless steel hoods on the reel seats, to make your stay reel at the bar no matter what. They are the backbone and durability to handle everything that may be towed, even small submarines! With the appropriate reel, line and leader, there's nothing these rods could not handle.
