You've got some great videos about catfish rods. Can you put them all in rod holders side by side and compare the bend in them all wish equal weight attached to them?

You like it more than the bnm elite?

[@hikenmikes8262]

I watched your “...Catfish Special” review. Do you know if the white blank and the orange/yellow blanks are the same materials...or are the “Specials” higher end? I would be disappointed if they were the same material blanks, just a new color and a fancier grip.

They are a way better quality hands down ! Super sensitive and bends like you wouldn’t believe but has the back bone to reel in the monsters with out a doubt if you can find one get it I have a feeling these will be one of those rare rods to have!!

@@mikewolfe789 you mean the catfish special (orange) are better? By the way I coupled my catfish special's with two of the Abu Garcia 6501 C3 reels. They are sweet! But I recently ordered two of the one in this video. 7 ft version just for fishing from a boat. Both are 2-piece baitcasting rods.

[@independentthinker.273]

Update since 2 years have passed. I've ditched using the 8 ft catfish specials. I'm finding that I like the white ones better. Much stiffer tip for throwing two and three oz sinkers. And I prefer the 7 ft baitcasting rods as opposed to the 8 ft. Much easier to cast and you can get them in a two-piece which is easier to break down to put in your car.

[@independentthinker.273]

I've had both. It's a different rod blank material. Too bad they couldn't take both rods and make a better rod. If they were to give the catfish special a stiffer top like the white rods but slim down the handle light the white rods and then add the shrink wrap rubber gripping, then you would have a world class rod. Between the two I think the white ones are better in real time scenarios. But only if you get the 7 ft version with an Ambassadeur reel. The catfish specials were okay. But two years later and about 55 rods I've gone through trying to find a better balance on the top and the bottom, I'm done with those and sticking with the white ones.
