Title: CATFISHING CUSTOMS
Post by: bigcatpat on December 18, 2015, 03:50:57 AM
Here's a few pics of a custom set I had made up for catfishing.They were done by Joe Onorato at J+J sports out of Maryland.The 12'er is a lamiglass surf and bar rod rated to cast 6-16,The 10'er is a MHX euro cat rod rated at #30-#80,and the 8'er is a Seeker Jig and Heavy live bait in XXH rated for #40-#100 line.All the reels are Avet JX's.All the handles I had cord wrapped in matching colors.They've held up well for me.

somehow I missed this thread.

awesome combos you got there amigo, it would be great to see some of your catchs with them, they will catch anything that cross on their path I bet.

they also look perfect for surf fishing

Pat those are some nice rigs!  I have a couple Avets for boat but haven't cast them for distance; I hear they do well.

I know that Lami blank; it's a beast.

Yes those are some very nice cat rigs. The Avet Jx should be a a really good reel for this. We are allowed to fish 3 reels here in Kansas I came real close to buying 3 Avet JX's.  In the end I decided to go a different route. Knowing what I know now I'd been just as happy with Avets... Jeff
