Steve can't watch you tube at work but for the type fishing I do mostly (bottom bouncing) I use the Tiger Ugly stick. Stout lots a eyes and not to heavy. I have a whole bunch a rods for different things but they are my favorite. Chuck

Ok Home now and can watch.....Looks like a nice pole.I know you use circle hooks alot.Do you think it would have enough back bone for a vertical drift???? I'm still livin in the stone age and like crossing there eyes on the hook set.Where can I get these poles? They do look nice might add one to the collection. Chuck

I use the same rods and really like them for the money. Couple 100+ pounders been caught on them so plenty of backbone. If you like to anchor in the hydros with 20+ oz of sinkers you may need to beef up but other than that good all purpose rod.

Google tangling with catfish rods and you'll find em. A buddy of mine started the line but has since sold the biz to a guy in IL. They are still selling well.
