How do I catch catfish with this rod? Do I need a rod holder for fishing at the lake? Fishing cat fish means wait for the fish to bite and reel it?

I would spool it up with 20lb test mono and for a leader I would use 50lb mono. If you want to fish on the bank of a lake, use a plastic rod holder (they sell them at Dicks). Fishing for cats requires a lot of patience, cast it out and wait for the fish to pick up your bait. Hope this helps

If your bait is something a cat would eat maybe. It would still have to reach in and pull the release up. I use shell corn if cats are around have not had a problem yet, otherwise dog food with a couple drops of fish oil sent works good.

Tim, there is no built in rod holder. I place the rod handle under one of my knees and let the rod rest on the inflated side when trolling, or moving to a new fishing location. A little awkward but you can also place the butt between your legs with the rod over your shoulder. As long as you remove the lure or hook (s) after fishing and taking care when fishing, you won't worry about punctures. One of the more popular ways I have seen for attaching a rod, to an inflatable, (If you plan to fish a lot from it) is to purchase a rod holder with the correct glue and glue the mount to the kayak at a position of your liking. I suggest you get a two piece mount (base mount) and the holder that fits into the mount. This is important for when you deflate and want to fold the boat for storage or transportation. Of course if your just gong to throw in back of truck or on roof, this won't be necessary. Also, have you thought about a telescopic rod? I have a collection of them for use on different waters, and fish. I also hand line fishing. Good luck, and good fishing.

Laura K. I searched for an answer to no avail. I would steer clear of it. PS Cats don't really need fish.

You can fish from the boat. It has rod holders and the cooler section could be used to keep bait. Really depends on how serious of a fisherman you are. Some fishermen require a lot of room for their junk.I put it in the back of my pickup truck with the canopy down of course - it only weighs 110 lbs.

It's a telescoping rod. I have 8 telescoping rods spider rigged for crappie fishing. With tthese rods they don't take up much storage room in the boat rod compartment.

Sorry, but I don't understand your question. This rod will work for most species of big game fish you're likely to encounter in salt water within the designated line class, if that helps.

The rod and reel could handle a nice sized bass if you play the fish out. The rod doesn't have a lot of back bone. But i have hooked onto a few 1-2lb bass and it did fine. I would suggest using 20-30lb braid because you get good strength and small diameter.

Its a fishing lure with like a safety pin at one end and you just open and close it when attaching the different refills. You will see it with all the metal bits at the end of the line. You will see on the new attachment where the line should attach. Youll get it once you see the safety pin like thing on the end

This particular rod is for spinning. However, there's an equivalent model for bait casting.

Won't fit in a rod holder, but, yeah, it'll rest on something like a rock. Sit back and wait for the fish.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

It both a fly fishing and a bass/pan fishing rod. It has a reversible butt section. One end takes a "Fly" reel and the other takes a "Spinning" reel. For bass/bream fishing get a $20.00 spinning reel, a spool of 6# test line, a sinker assortment, a float/bobber assortment, a hook assortment and half dozen jigs (hooks with lead by the eyes and wiggly plastic tails(keep it under $40 for the lot). If they are a serious fly fisherman they wouldn't use a rod like this any way so just get the spinning stuff.

Model SU600D comes with 2 fishing rod holders. You can order extras directly from the manufactures website. The one in the picture are not rod holders, but if you have tiny rods you can place them in the tool hole.

We love the weed razor for our lake weeds and water Lillies. We don't have any cattail s on our property. It's dangerously sharp and slices weeds like butter. We love it. But it is heavy and you have to throw it over the weeds and drag it back to you as it slices the weeds. If the cat tails are tall you may not be able to get over them. Good luck.
