[quote idahoron]Welcome to the board! WOW!! What a way to enter the catfish section. I have see those Red tailed ones on youtube. I am so jealous!!!! I love catfishing and those look great. Keep posting pic. Ron[/quote]
Thanks Ron, very happy to be part of this board. I am currently using a Shimano STC Travel rod with a line poundage of 10-20lb with a Daiwa Airity 2000 size reel with 15lb braided and 50lb leader. The moment these babies hit your bait, they will run straight for the snags, and believe me, they really lurk VERY near to the snags. Am now considering a heavier setup just in case the 70 pounder decide to pay me a visit. Any recommendations ?
