Show Name: Fisherman’s Friend
Episode Title: Oh CATFISH!
Hello Fellow Fisherman, You are listening to Fisherman’s friend the podcast with your host Gio. In this episode of Fisherman’s friend the Podcast we discuss: What Rod and line you need for catfish,What plastic lures to use, and What foods to use for catfish.
Segment 1: Rod and Line to use for CatfishA rod for Catfish should always be a heavy rod or a rod that can take a lot of power. A catfish can weigh from 4-30 pounds. A catfishes weight depends on their age. Catfish are mostly fat unless they are young. Catfish are fat yet have a ton of power on them. Line is also very important because if you don’t use the right line, your line will break and lose your hook or lure. You should buy between 20-50 pound line for catfish just to be safe. Some rods I recommend for catfish are ugly stiks, abu garcia, and penn fishing. When a catfish hooks onto your line, you better be ready for a fight.
Segment 2: Plastic lures for catfishCatfish mainly eat real food or live bait. But, they still do eat some plastic lures. Catfish like to stay near the bottom of the lake, So, you are going to have to get a very colorful lure that will attract a catfish. Some great colors to use would be green, orange, red, white, silver, and pink. Some plastic lures you could use for catfish are:
- Yum dingers- plastic worm
- Googan crawfish
- Powerbait
- Berkley shrimp
- Plastic bluegill
- Spooks
Segment 3: Foods or live bait for catfish
Catfish love live bait or some food. Catfish love their meats since they are lazy feeders and don’t like anything that really moves. Catfish also like shady areas so when you throw your bait, try to throw it towards a shady part of the water. Catfish also love the smell of sweet or meaty food. When you use bait for catfish, try to soak it into something that has a strong or good smell. You can always soak something in a plastic bowl or in a bag. Now, the best baits for catfish are:
- Chicken-not raw. You can also soak your chicken in kool aid in a bag
- Bacon
- Hot dogs- Can also soak in koolaid
- Night crawlers
