In this video I talk about my favorite fishing reel for catfishing. The Cat Maxx reels are affordable and dependable bait casting reels that I have used in catfishing for over 10 years with great success. I also talk about my go to catfishing rods, Tangling with catfish brand. Watch as I take you step by step in the installation of the McCoy braided fishing line to the spool on the cat maxx reel and how to adjust the reel properly so it doesn't back lash when its cast out.

@Mark Reeves Mark I drifted up to Ohio in 2001 and was just roaming the country east to west and found Wilmington and Clarksville just by roaming....lake Cowan was so much fun ...so I bought a pontoon boat and just fished everyday....I stayed 2 years and when I left and came back to Georgia I missed the north and was sad I left...I made many friends and learned a lot from them good people....I was actually headed to Montana but lake Cowan just got a hold on me...I love to fish and I took two years off work and just done exactly that....I'm 20 years older now and still fishing...

Thank you for all you do to help us all in all.....

I bought a PB Catmaxx reel today and got it rigged with a Carolina rig. I’ve been using some Zebco spincasters. They work but I don’t know for how long. Friends were telling me to get the Abu Garcia but I figured if the catmaxx serves you well I was going with it. I caught my first flathead last fall and my first blue last weekend. I love your videos and I’m soaking up the tips . Thanks Steve.

Steve, I always enjoy your videos. You seem to be a good guy shairing what you have learned. Something most guys dont do or have sold out to corporate sponsors. I have been stalled in my catfishing adventures. I have spent some time watching most all of your videos and have spent a lot of money on some gear this year (Lorance HDS7 touch & Motorguide Xi5 80) All looks a little strange mounted on my 1976 Polar Craft john boat. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for sharing even when they are not paying you!!!

Thanks for all the information.

I'll be trying to get out this weekend since the ice is gone from Indiana and the water is about 48 degrees now. Of course we are expecting some snow tomorrow.

Everyone is certainly welcome to their own opinions, but I definitely disagree with Steve about the Abu Garcia's. I think they are without a doubt the finest, smoothest, toughest and most reliable reels money can buy. Especially the 7000 reels, those things are built(In Sweden, I might add) like tanks!! I hope you have great luck with the Catmaxx real and the TWC rods, I am planning on picking up at least one, hopefully 2, of the Catmaxx baitcasters like Steve uses and I'd also love to have a couple of those rods as well but I am happy with the 'Meat Hunter' rods that I can get for half the price of the TWC Catfish rods.

It has never malfunctioned on me and it's so smooth to cast and reel it's an amazing reel for the money I'd put it up aginst any of the fanciest reels out there! BTW it works great with the tangling with Catfish rods I've got 2 of those and I love them!

Great idea on the black tape. Easier than trying to tape the spool up before tying the line on. No bead between the sinker and swivel? I'm just using a cheap plastic Walmart jewelry bead, but even with that my braid gets a little worn behind the swivel. I often cut and retie the braid to my swivel when I see it getting a little wear. I'm probably going to start using a 1/4" nub of clear plastic tubing to cushion the sinker and swivel connection.

Why do you prefer casting reel from spinning reel? Hope you will do a video on this. Thank you.

Thanks for the information, you do a great job presenting your material and I appreciate you taking the time to share it with us. I just got off the phone with the New Mexico governors office about SB226, the lady said they were getting hundreds of calls on this bill. I sure hope the Governor doesn't let it pass.

Hey Steve, quick question. I really enjoy your videos and live close to the Ohio River as well.. Do you ever fish the Smithland Pool area from Golconda, IL to Elizabethtown, IL?

Nice vid Steve. I appreciate the no nonsense approach. Biting the 50lb mono is a nice touch. :) Sometimes I see too much emphasis on the WOW factor in fishing videos and they forget the reason people are there to watch them.

Thanks,, I always like to leave my viewers with some take aways, rather than beating my chest and saying look at me and my big fish or self proclaiming pro status. I like to connect with folks and show them the real days on the water with the fish I catch whether they big or small. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment Darren

I love the looks of the TWC rods, but I wish they made a 10' version, for the spinning rod. I am concerned that the shorter one is going to hurt my castablility, vs my Cabela's King Kat II's, which are 10'.

Catfish Dude...really enjoy the videos! Can you give me a video or your 2 cents on your bait and how you come about getting them? Maybe you have a video already about the cut bait that I've missed. Also, I see bass pro has a CatMaxx combo any thoughts on the CatMaxx rod/reel combo?

I believe TWC makes some great rods there what I like in a rod . With that being said iv been trying to get a couple 10 extenede rods from them for some time now and there always out . I can't get as much as a Email reply from them and that don't set good with me because im needing them rods bad and would really hate to go with another rod maker . Just hope it don't come to that by the way keep the great videos coming Steve .
