This is a review and unboxing of my new catfish rods. catfishing rods are not all created equal these are very reliable rods. In my opinion this is the best catfish rod on the market.
You should add details of the rods to the description of this post. Manufacture, model, specs, and a link to the website. That way visitors to your channel don't have to go searching.
Ripping Lips has better blanks than many of the $100 plus options. It is criminal for Mad Katz and others to charge what they do for chinese fiberglass blanks.
Back in 2015 they had a 2pc spinning rod/reel combo. I bought two. Still use them. Reels finally broke, so getting new reels but the rods are still solid. They're my favorite the tips aren't soft like the walmart rods. Currently looking for new rods the only reason I don't buy more from them is cause the don't make a 2 pc medium/heavy rod anymore.
Been looking to get a heavy rod. Low budget, might buy the older one which I assume is fiberglass. Had a very old fiberglass light spinning rod and it was fantastic. Suspect your new one is carbon, hence the light weight. New to the channel, thanks for the suggestions.
They look like nice rods but as a bank guy and needing distance most times I'll stick with my 12' big waters. Been an ugly stick guy for almost 40 yrs they do everything I need.
I broke 2 of the first run supercat casting rods, my opinion was they weren't designed for big fish. I did see the new design at catcon and wanted to give them another try
Yeah, there are a lot of variables in fishing that will hold up, I think that there are 3 known factories that are making, and it is a known sheet of fiber glass, just Google up on TH-cam, how are fishing rods made
Good video Johnathan, I don't own any of those, but I've had my eyes on them. I switched some of my rods over from 1 of the big companies down here in NC to the B&M Silvercat rods and I like them alot. What kind of reels you going to put on them . Now let's see you putting them to work
Like your videos. You drag alot of big cats in. I respect you for not being a brager. Your a great cat man.
Thanks man that means a lot

I've got an old school split handle med light super cat crawler rod. From big shellcrackers to big Channel cats it's always held its own.

I own ten ripnlips rods. Awesome quality for the price. The medium light spinnings are my favorite.
agree med lights are sweet
Thanks for another option to check out
The old style had a split handle and IMO was better than the one you held up 1st which I currently own as well.
Awesome rod.

Old rods were s-glass.
Man I put the supercats through h*** we'll see how these new ones hold up

I think the ugly stik catfish rod is the PERFECT startup rod. Just run to Walmart and grab one off of the shelf. Great feel and can handle any fish.
Rippin lips makes a really good rod for the money.
never heard of the brand, id like to try one but dont want the return hassle if i dont like.
Good deal brother I bought my son the same rod he loves it
nice looking rod!!
AMAZING FISHING..
Nice rod!
He depends on it for food!
Good looking rods! I do not own any but I have never heard anything bad about the company. Good luck with the new rods, Hope you catch some Pigs!!

Penn squalls and yeah hopefully flatheads soon
Do you get many birds nests on those larger bait casters?
What surf rods are you using in the bank fishing videos? Also interested in reels too.
My surf rod is the penn battalion 2 and I also have a okuma longitude The reels are some Chinese 10000 series
Where can I get One
Rippinlips.net
All made in the same factory in China.
So how can I stow away on this boat?
Real nice except where are the 2 piece spinning rods? I love the new look, but I hope they come out with a 2 piece rods.
They do make a 2 piece medium light spinning rad also also casting and they're awesome
Would a meadem action be enough for fishing in that spot on the foxriver south of I 90 were you caught that 40# flat head
