[@bingybop9187]

Nice rods i would really love to buy too of them please give me the link.

[@Capt_Billy]

amzn.to/3VRBS2Q is the link in the post above.

[@Twiztid39]

Love the new rods... I have one as well... Best rod I've used in a long time... You won't be disappointed...

[@Capt_Billy]

Awesome!

[@JayTurner-lg1wh]

Have 1 Elite 7.5 ft and 2 Silvercat Magnum 10ft rods….love all 3

[@Capt_Billy]

Awesome!

[@bigmike971]

I have the first version of the regular silver cat rods. They are great and are also good for carp. I will have to try an Elite. Thanks for the video.

[@Capt_Billy]

You are welcome!

[@gamehog2696]

Nice rods. I have two of the original silver cat spinning versions.

[@Capt_Billy]

I agree they are very nice!

[@filiphronek6413]

Awesome video will there be another tackle tuesday review video on these rods?

[@Capt_Billy]

Maybe someday! Right now Tuesdays are #shorts

[@filiphronek6413]

Ok

[@texasplumr]

Like I said when you asked for suggestions, I love B&M Rods! On the links though, whenever someone uses something that I like, I ALWAYS look below for a link to it. It's disappointing when there isn't one because I'll probably just forget about it and never look it up. That's just me though.

[@Capt_Billy]

KZbin is funny about links so I have to be careful until I reach “big” status.

[@jimjeffcoat5688]

Where can one purchase a Mel bait tank and price. Thanks. Good info. I would add a dimmer switch to regulate the amount of use for battery. Meaning to slow flow or increase flow of oxygen and water

[@Capt_Billy]

If he is still making them, here: melsstriperguideservice.com/bait-tanks

[@Yelladog78]

Those are super great rods, I'm hoping they will eventually make a 6ft version for kayak catfishing

[@Capt_Billy]

Agree!

[@porjiboi]

I have a Silvercat Magnum and I love it! The Elites are around $90 in my city.

[@Capt_Billy]

I saw they are that high on the BnM website.

[@HookedUpCatfishing]

I have a few of these and love the action and the price

[@aydinhami]

I ordered one through your Amazon account/link ( I hope you will get the commission) and received it last night first impression is super light and looks very solid and high quality 👌 Thanks for the suggestions. Please do some reel reviews for it.

[@Capt_Billy]

Thanks! I already exchanged that low profile Coldwater for a round one lol! Once I get to fish with them I may do a reel video. I like the round coldwaters and wished Okuma made a non line counter version. There really isn’t anything like it for the price.

[@aydinhami]

@fishingwithbilly Thank 😊. I am a new angler from Southern California and I use your videos as a crash course 😉

[@mrgproduction4985]

Hey Billy...can I use these with a spinning setup?

[@Capt_Billy]

I think they do have a spinning version of this rod. My links are for the casting version and would not work with spinning reels.

[@mrgproduction4985]

@@Capt_Billy thank you

[@kunaiwithchain5278]

Never tried these but I have the normal silver cat, I assume they’re pretty similar except in medium heavy?

[@Capt_Billy]

Yes they are very similar.

[@terrydunn3546]

Are you still an Amazon associate? How does all that work. Wondering how it works, I'm finally going to be ordering 3 battlecats and 3 okuma coronado cdx reels next weekend

[@Capt_Billy]

You buy anything after you click an associate link I may get a commission (24 hour limit after click). Like clicking a link to the hooks I like to use here: amzn.to/3MPtFcA (you don't have to buy the hooks, just navigate after to what your buying).

[@robbiesmith9786]

I got 2 they are tuff can see them good at night to

[@DevonBaldwin0777]

Do you think the guides would hold up to saltwater

[@Capt_Billy]

I really don’t know. They are stainless steel guides. I know most saltwater lures have stainless hooks so they last longer.

[@DevonBaldwin0777]

Ok thanks! They seem like amazing rods for big Lingcod from the Oregon coast, and not as expensive as most! Just the salt I would be worried about, I guess just use mono so the braid doesnt corrode.

[@allendaigle5825]

What's the Name of the catfish rod

[@Capt_Billy]

That was the BnM Silver Cat Elite. You can get them on Amazon here (I may get a commission): amzn.to/40FZEEo

[@TheDisciplinedDisciple-]

Hey Billy would you be interested in fishing catfish tournaments? I’m in North Alabama. I primarily drag and have caught a 70,56,53,50 last week.

[@Capt_Billy]

I do have some interest. I can't with my current boat.

[@TheDisciplinedDisciple-]

@@Capt_Billy I have an 18’ boat 10 rods and all the tackle. I just looking for someone who has a great attitude whether we win or lose.

[@majorrhodes2870]

Hey Billy im a new sub. love the boat im looking at that or the xpress h20 bay would love to hear your thoughts thanks 👍👍

[@Capt_Billy]

I have not been on the Xpress H20 yet. I am told the bow is a little wider but not by much. These boats are built to ride smooth and they do! The sacrifice is a narrow bow. Thank you for subscribing!

[@majorrhodes2870]

@@Capt_Billy thanks maybe you can do a comparison vid one day would love to see how they stack up on stability

[@MrJumbotb]

I’ve been looking into the elite light by bnm

[@Capt_Billy]

I didn't know they made them. I had to look it up after your comment!

[@sirphobos4243]

Did you ever get the elite light? And if so what are your thoughts?

[@bill-e6i]

Thanks for the video./////bill

[@Capt_Billy]

Thank you for watching!

[@damriverboys7794]

Yep 23 bucks at the rural king here in pa right now

[@Capt_Billy]

I am hoping they drop the price soon at mine! They look lonely in that barrel!

[@jimmylowe1233]

You might have a change of heart with that braid if you're going to pull planer boards.It can be a pain in the rear end if you know what I mean.

[@Capt_Billy]

The expense may change my mind too!

[@twofouryul]

80something in the US, 224 up in canada... dang

[@Capt_Billy]

Ouch!

[@porjiboi]

Wrap a piece of electrical tape around the reel and tie the braid directly to it. It won’t slip at all.

[@Capt_Billy]

That is one way to do it!

[@Fishing_with_sunny]

That's a fact

[@floydmayes4924]

I don't want a 7' 6" rod. Seems like most of the newer rods are that length!

[@Capt_Billy]

I’ve had catfish rods as short as 6 foot and as long as 12 foot. The 7’ 6” ones are perfect for boats! 8 foot are to long to handle and 6 foot is to short causing line to rub on edge when they run under the boat.
