PRO TIP: When targeting big cats in high-current rivers, use the high-vis white blank to your advantage. If you aren't using a clicker reel, watch for the "double bounce"—a quick dip followed by a steady load-up. Because this rod has a Moderate Fast action, wait for the rod to fully load before setting the hook to ensure the barb penetrates the catfish's tough jaw.
