Linebites

Catfish are great to catch and they do fight very well, once you have the fish on the unhooking mate take the photo stright away because if you dont and you let it recover you will never hold it. They do not have teeth they have pads, which feel like sandpaper that will graze the skin. If i was you i would go for it. Use squid or liver as bait or a big fishmeal boilie or pellet. Use a hooklengh like Fox's mask or quick silver otherwise the pads in the catfishes mouth may tear normal braid. Shooter, If you are going to france for cats you should try using krystron ton-up as a hooklengh. A running rig is the set up i use for catfishing and i have never had any problems. Any other info you require check out http://www.catfishconservationgroup.co.uk Hope this helps you both.

Sorry i forgot to mention that I am getting them for £110.I am getting some new rods and reels (2 of each) so I might be able to do a deal and get them a bit cheaper.Any information would be great.Thanks,Mark.

Can anybody help me? I am thinking of buying two of the above reels, Some say ther great some say they are s**t. Please help or should i just get the 8000GTE instead.Tight lines Mark.
