Rod Info

Listed Below are the specs for the Catfishing rods we build as a standard, they are reference rods and can be made to order in the colors you want and grips and reel seats to match

8/17 line class, 1/2 to 2 oz. recommended weight with an extra fast action. This blank is good for channel cat fishing and small blues and flathead in ponds and small creeks and rivers. This blank come in lenghts from 6′,  6.6′, 7′ and 8′. Prices start at $140.00

15/30 line class. 1to 3 oz. recommended weight with a fast action. This blank is the perfect blank for fishing for channels and small blues and flathead yet strong enough to get in the big guys if you get into them. Very sensitive tip action and works great in creeks and small rivers with moderate current. These rods come in lenghts from 6′. 6.6′, 7′, 7.6′, and 8′. Prices start at $140.00

20/40 is the standard for most cat fishing 1 to 4 oz weight recommended although I have guys using 24 oz plus and a half skippy for bait with these (not recommended) Med Heavy action. The tip action on these rods can pick up on the slightest bite and handle the slamming of big blues and flatheads. I have clients that have caught blues in excess of 80 pounds on these rods and are still going. These are great rods for drifting or still fishing and can take the abuse of tournament guys in extreme conditions. These rods come in lengths form 6′, 6.6′,7′, 7.6′, 8′ This is the #1 selling blank we offer. Prices start at $150.00

30/50 is a heavy action rod build with “BIG CAT” guys in mind. 2 to 8 oz recommended weight, heavy action and backbone thru the entire blank. Although we catch small channel cat on these rods they are best suited for big blues and flathead in the rivers. They are great drifting rods and don’t bounce around in current. This is trophy grade fishing rods with the pro in mind. These blanks come in 7′, 7.6′, 8′. Prices start at $160.00

40/60 is an Extreme condition rod for fishing heavy current and timber. These are the blanks that we build the 8′ “Stinger ‘s” on for Ricky Bracken. Made for big fish and big baits, these are BAD TO THE BONE! Xheavy action to drag those big flathead’s from under the brush or the HUGE blues below the dams on the rivers. 2 to 10 rated weight, and these are SUPER drift rods when the big guys come out to play.

THE STUD This is a new development rod and not for the faint at heart! When anchored I have caught 2 and 3 pound channel cat and have yet to have a real test on it. It will handle whatever the river has to offer, put the best reel you can get and 100# braid and let the big dog eat! This blank has an unrated line class and 4 to 16 oz weight. At present this is a Blackhorse ONLY rod.

Twisted Cat Edition

The Twisted Cat Edition rod is a spiral wrapped rod in which the guides start out on the top and spiral around the blank to end up on the bottom like a spinning rod. the advantages to this is NO twist back and forth with a large fish being caught. There is debates about cast distance on these rods. Some say they cat no farther than conventional built rods, in our test using the same reels the Twisted Cat rods cast 10 to 15 percent farther. This is Blackhorse test ONLY.
