Stipper/Catfish Reel Rod Combos

[reese3]

I am starting to get older now where i can buy my own fishing gear and not have my parents buy it for me! I am looking into buying a rod & reel combo that will help me to reelin in some monster fish and I need some help from some of you experts out there! It all started this weekend after i hit the skuke for a day targeting some catfish. I got a bite so i set the hook and unexpectedly my bail arm snapped and i was pissed cuzz i had a beauty on my line!

I have a Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6600CB but can cast far with it so i may sell it to get a new reel that i can sail into the middle of the river!

PLZ HELP!

Reese, are you looking for a spinning setup for a baitcaster?  I have an 8' MH UglyCat catfish rod (casting) and a 7' H Ugly Stick Tiger Lite spinning rod that I'm looking to sell.  Both would be good for baitfishing for cats and stripers.

I like to use braid so a rod that can hold about 200 yards or more in braid that would be great! Also why we are talking about stippers we should have a stripper fishin outting soon!

You can do both stripper/striper fishing in atlantic city    Anyway, were you looking for a casting or spinning setup?  If you want to cast a mile, spinning is easiest the way to go.

reese, check out catfishconnection.com.  They usually have some good prices on a few combos that would be good for baitfishing.

Reese,
If you 're looking to cast to the middle of the river with 6600CB, you need 3+oz weight and bulky rod over 7'6".
Of course you need to educate your thumb before you swing it with full power.
