Sorry he is not. We have been fishing with black lights since the 70's, and we were taught to do it. So how long this has been going on, we will never know.
Well not sure who uses black light for practical night fishing I sure don't. I prefer the all white Shakespeare Ugly Stixs Catfish Rod. The white catches regular light and has a high reflective value making it visible in dimmest of light. Medium Heavy action with good backbone and affordable. Just recently picked one up at Walmart on sale for $11 .
Without adding chunkys and uncle lou's rods to the mix deffenitly twc for the win just for the simple fact as you said the whole rod lights up but wouldnt mind any of em in my collection 👍
I agree with your reasoning. The full green all the way to the tip is awesome. I have a Surge and it does well at night under the black light. But the Mad Katz Bolt is the one for glowability. Is that even a word? It is the highlighter yellow color. Also got to see Uncle Josh's new Uncle Lou's rod in action. That looks awesome under the black light as well.
Thank you for doing this video. I really wish Mad katz would put together the green rod, green puzzle eva handle, and green rod seat. They have the parts.. Just put them together!!!
Kevin, great test. I was looking hard at the hellcat rod over the TWC rods but after this I am going to go with the TWCs. The TWCs just shine brighter, no question. You can't argue the quality of either one really. And the TWC are about $30 less per rod too! Thank you!
@@PalmettoCats They only going to have a limited number of those rods. As far as glowing Chucky Cats rods are awesome. Cool video though! It was good seeing them all side by side
Honestly I've owned both Slimecat and Madkatz and i love my Madkatz and either sold or broke the Slimecat rods. I'm a big part of how Madkatz came up with a larger variety of glowing rod colors, i had pitched a brilliant idea to Slimecat about creating more colors after the Sunset edition was thought up then created a poll on the FB page asking folks if they wanted to see a variety of different glowing rod styles then next thing we all know Justin slept on the idea and Madkatz had their prostaff looking at my poll and they almost perfected my Pink catfish rod idea 😁
@@PalmettoCats I for sure want a variety of glow color rods figure I'll throw the Abu Garcia ambassador 6500 on each rod I buy. Unless there's better than that.
Well done, but I do have a few questions. What is the size and wattage the blacklight used in this video. Additionally, what is the wavelength of the blacklight (370nm- 390nm area) ? Thanks for your time.
Hey there. The link to the black lights are actually in the description of the video. I've never actually researched the wavelength. Thanks for watching.
Madkatz rods with the tips being clear up top like that, can glow at night without black light. Just charge it with a flash light and the tips will glow without black light. Just thought you should know why they did that.
Awesome demonstration Kevin I just wish someone would make a totally glow in the dark rod from bottom to top uncle is close PS Kevin you win a Chunky cats rod and you destroy one to 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just what i was looking for! Im looking for 4 more rods, im digging that Hellcat rod but man they're always out of stock. Now im digging that Uncle Lous,decisions decisions...😂
I'm a newbie to catfishing and I just bought an old boat. Could you recommend a good value pole, reel and line setup? I'm on a tight budget and I would mostly be fishing at night in my boat. Thanks and I love the videos. :) God Bless
Ugly Stick Gx2 for spinning, you can get a combo from walmart for around $50. Really, any of the walmart combos will do you just fine for under $50. I would start there. Thanks for watching!!
@@PalmettoCats Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about Wally World but I didn't know if they were any good. I'll take a look at them next time. Thanks again.
Great video Kevin I like the uncle Lou’s rods brightness and I tried to get a couple of them. But wasn’t able to get through to them. Have you checked out the MadKats Panther rod yet? It’s fluorescent blue and when you have blue LED lights or UV lights on them they look like a lightning bolt rod. I have two of them now and I just purchased two more yesterday. Check them out
Mad Katz all green is their Catfish Down model and they also have that in orange and both are colored all the way to the tip. And a new mention, Rippin Lips just released their Limited edition green rods today. Hmmm, which ones am I gonna order.... LOL
I just bought two of those green heavy action Hellcats. Bro, I have three other glow rods, but I swear to god this one glows in daylight. Hit that hellcat rod with a bright light and then put it in a dark room. It'll look like it's hooked up to a damn light. I think its still cool what you showed tho bro. I like how you could tellt the quality in color with the black light.
I wasn't trying to be a Karen either buddy. I liked the video, you did a good job budro. I was just throwing you a bone on lights. The only reason I know the difference scientifically is because I own a reef tank. All the black light does is illuminate fluorescents.. I wish coral glowed tho lol that would be dope lol lol
The Chinese can’t compete with this Mexican 🤣😂 Super fantastic video very nicely done my friend
🤣😂🤣😂
💯
🤜🤛😅😅😅
Thank you!
Me too.
Chunky started this whole black light glowing rod frenzy! I sure hope he is getting some compensation for that. Elstan seems like a great man.
He certainly deserves it
Thank you my friend
You’re welcome
Sorry he is not. We have been fishing with black lights since the 70's, and we were taught to do it. So how long this has been going on, we will never know.
Great showdown, I still use different size bells so I know which rod is bouncing by the sound of the bell
Interesting!
Those madkstz for catfish yes
Chunky rods are hard to beat but the uncle Lou rod is sweet.
Hard to beat that custom paint job!
I will have to go with Uncle Lou's rods because I just received mine a couple days ago..lol
awesome

All the rods look great
Thank you!
This video was very illuminating!
😂
Gonna go with the Uncle Lou's rod. That tip sets it apart from the rest hands down
Good choice.
Great video buddy, gotta go with Uncle Lous rod cause I don’t have a chunky rod😂
lol
nice video! my Madkats orange crush really pops also!
They do, those are super bright too
@@PalmettoCats I’m with you tho on the white tips! But have a good night buddy
@@Treelimbfishing you too
Chunky is best of Glow rods!
You got that right!
Without adding chunkys and uncle lou's rods to the mix deffenitly twc for the win just for the simple fact as you said the whole rod lights up but wouldnt mind any of em in my collection 👍
Great point
Great comparison video Kevin..I'd definitely love me a Chunky rod myself.
HINT HINT CHUNKY!! hahah

One day I’ll test all the yellow rods. I went with green this time because I already had 3 green rods.
@@PalmettoCats I know. You are addicted to green. 🤣
Yes sir!! I’ll admit it! Lol
Uncle Lou's rod was the best for me.
Oh yeah, SUUUUUPER bright
Thanks for a great show
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for doing this video. I really wish Mad katz would put together the green rod, green puzzle eva handle, and green rod seat. They have the parts.. Just put them together!!!
That would be cool!
@@PalmettoCats I'd buy them.

Oh your welcome. You won’t be disappointed on the TWC rods. Love mine
the white tips on the slimecats charge in the direct light and glow in the dark by themselves. but I like the TWC rod myself also..
Right. Near the end of the video I showed the slime cat tip glowing.
The Mad Katz currently has Green Catfish Down series rod that is like this one but the green does go all the way to the tip!
Awesome, they didn't have those at my local shop.
@@PalmettoCats They only going to have a limited number of those rods. As far as glowing Chucky Cats rods are awesome. Cool video though! It was good seeing them all side by side

@@PalmettoCats me too, i wanna order a few more colors and add a Muddyriver blue cat rod to my arsenal
@@ChaosTherapy719 excellent choice
@@ChaosTherapy719 where can I get one of those bud.
@@PalmettoCats I for sure want a variety of glow color rods figure I'll throw the Abu Garcia ambassador 6500 on each rod I buy. Unless there's better than that.
I think they all look awesome
I agree
Solid video brother.
Thank you
Chunky Cats! All of those look great!
💚
Fantastic Video Kev! Well done! Oraaaaallllleeeeeee!!!! 😁
HAHAH Thanks HOLMES!!
🤣😂
I like Hell cat! oh snap Uncle Lou winner winner!
lol
Like them all they all help me see better at night
Well done, but I do have a few questions. What is the size and wattage the blacklight used in this video. Additionally, what is the wavelength of the blacklight (370nm- 390nm area) ? Thanks for your time.

Take a spot light and heat up white places on madkatz💯
Mad Katz Catfish Down rods in green has no white tip. It's green all the way to the tip. Basically like the Surge rod minus the white tip.
Awesome! They didn't have those at my shop.
Love this video chunky wins 🏆 it all 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thank you!! YES!
That’s a hard decision. I would be proud to have any of them.
Absolutely
iirc on my slime cat the white tip glows in the dark like something glow in the dark shine a light on it will glow but not for very long lol
Awesome vid nice test twc is my fav of the green rods too… but that uncle Lou and that chunky rod is 🔥🔥
Thanks Haz
Madkatz rods with the tips being clear up top like that, can glow at night without black light. Just charge it with a flash light and the tips will glow without black light.

Yes, that would be amazing!
Nice thx. So I wonder what is the bright glow rod of all of any color???
Yellow hellcat or anvil
sweet @@PalmettoCats
Just what i was looking for! Im looking for 4 more rods, im digging that Hellcat rod but man they're always out of stock. Now im digging that Uncle Lous,decisions decisions...😂
Lol tough choices
Great video! Love the demo!
Thank you
That’s funny Chunky, but your rod blew them away, then Uncle Lou, then slimecat in my opinion. Great reviews of the rods.
Thanks 👍
Hello how do you make your fishing rods to glow what would do you make them glow you use tape or paint
I just use black lights bro. That's it.
Great video brother. Stay blessed!!!
Thanks! You too!
Great vedio. I like Chunkies
Thank you
Hey buddie was that a one time deal with Chunky on that pole I would like to buy one from him same colors and setup.
My wife won that rod. He might sell you one, give him a holler
@@PalmettoCats ok cool and also bud what kind of line is on ur poles I sent it glows to. I'm tryin to figure out if mono or braid is better
@@PalmettoCats you wife won one hell of a rod man for sure that's badass.👍
Here is a link to the line amzn.to/3eJk6iC
Chunky for the win
Grand Champion!!
@@PalmettoCats its hard to beat chunky on glowing rods that's for sure
For sure!!
Nice. Do any of them glow when you turn off all the lights? My Rippin Lips Supercat rod tip is in the corner visible when I go to bed at night.
David, the uncle lou's rod has a glow tip, I go over it closer to the end of the video. The Slime cat tip also glows a little.
Slim cat tip glows if set in the sun or hit with a light just a FYI.
Yes, I covered that near the end of the video
I don't even use the blacklight on my boat way to many bugs come in
For being LIT UP.... Elstan wins !
Factory effects...Uncle Lou winner
(hands down)
for sure
I'm a newbie to catfishing and I just bought an old boat.
Could you recommend a good value pole, reel and line setup?

@@timgiles9413 perfectly good combos for just starting out.
2 4 5 6 full glow sticks
haha yes!
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video!
I don't think anyone can touch Chunky's rod painting skills. He has an amazing skill and 100 percent puts his heart into making those rods.
Absolutely
Thank you
What kind of line is spooled on your reels?
40lb Slime Line
Great video
Thank you
So to get these to glow you just run the light over them or there needs to be active black lights?
Black lights
The Black diamond 400 headlamp has a blue light. That's what I use
Just depends on what you want, the brighter the better
That’s what I say
How much did your uncle's pole cost and where can I can one at ??
Mine was sent to me as a gift, but you can get them here. facebook.com/uncleloustackle
Nice. Slime cat.....
I own 3 slimecats in multiple colors. I love them. Madkatz are alright but I like a longer handle
Will the uncle lous rod work well if I'm catfishing with no light at all
They do have a decent color. The tip glows in the dark but make sure you get it charged with sunlight.
Great video Kevin
I like the uncle Lou’s rods brightness and I tried to get a couple of them. But wasn’t able to get through to them.
Have you checked out the MadKats Panther rod yet? It’s fluorescent blue and when you have blue LED lights or UV lights on them they look like a lightning bolt rod. I have two of them now and I just purchased two more yesterday. Check them out
No I haven't. If I could afford it or I'd def. try it out!
Can u use in saltwater fishing
Absolutely
loved this video!!
Glad you liked it!!
Hello bro.. How much that glowing rod fishing? I from Malaysia..
The shipping would be very expensive
Do the rods have to be under a black light for it to glow??
Yes
awesome vid
Thanks brother.
Uncle lou
indeed
Chunky could make a killing if he produced his rods for purchase
Wow that was cool Rods, , green is cool l like it. New friend here from Philippines sending you love and support. #Laura the xplora
Awesome! Welcome!
TWC for the win!!!
Yes sir!
Chunky junior
What's up Justin!!
I'm confused! hahah I"m Kevin
Awesome Video , Elstan wins :-)
Yes indeed!
#2!
how to buy!
Which one
Is Glowability a word? LoL cool video.
It is now! Hahah
I’ll take them….
haha I bet you would!
Why would they make the part that you need to see, harder to see?
Not trying to talk trash about the rod I’m asking if there’s some reason for that.
I think the idea was that the white would show up better if you didn’t have black lights
@@PalmettoCats Oh ok, I figured there was some reason behind it
I’m just guessing, but I’m pretty sure that’s it
Mad Katz now has an all green Catfish Down model as well as their orange Catfish Down.
Mad Katz all green is their Catfish Down model and they also have that in orange and both are colored all the way to the tip. And a new mention, Rippin Lips just released their Limited edition green rods today. Hmmm, which ones am I gonna order.... LOL
Man what kind of line do you have that it glows lmao
😂
You do realize with a black light your testing fluorescents and not glow?
True. Thanks for the correction.
I just bought two of those green heavy action Hellcats. Bro, I have three other glow rods, but I swear to god this one glows in daylight. Hit that hellcat rod with a bright light and then put it in a dark room. It'll look like it's hooked up to a damn light. I think its still cool what you showed tho bro.

That stupid hell cat rod cost $120 and is the lowest glow of them all 🤣🤣🤣. Bcf just going after that wallet now a days lol.
The rod itself is amazing though, other than the glow. Really great action.
So I was curious if anyone has tried the slimecat site lately or the tanglewithcats site on my pH it shows their not able to be reached ?
That’s interesting. No I haven’t
@@PalmettoCats yeah I tried to go on there so I can make a purchase tonight and it would not pull up the site
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
