These rods were the bees knees at Catfish Con! We fitted one with a Kastking Caspain with Kastking braid. Looking to tear into a biggun with it. I dig these specific catfish videos, mark!
Bought a hobie outback from a fisherman who caught 40lb catfish. He gave me this 6’ slime cat with the kayak. I catch 20-50lb stripe bass, Do you think this will hold up?
I just got a Slimecat 7'10 walking stick. I put a Penn warfare 30LW on it. Definitely looking forward to seeing it in action. Thank you for the review I greatly appreciate it.
I've held this rod the other day for a few hours. Love the long handle! I'm thinking about preordering the Sunset edition that's supposed to come out in October.
Rod looks great. I do see one problem, for Casting rods the rod seat needs to be flipped. It needs to thread down not up. When the threads are on the bottom your hand is on the threads and nut every time you cast. Also the more you handle the area of the clamp when on the bottom it will come loose.
This is a HEAVY rated rod so the tip action is stiffer then I like for anchor or bank fishing. If you do those you might want to consider a Med/Heavy with a "fast" tip. Cheers and thanks for watching!
You're dead on with the J hooks for flathead. For blues ill take circle hooks hands down, but thats a totally different bite all together. Tight lines my friend!
Are these mainly JUST for catfish? I was thinking about buying one, I usually fish for bass and stuff. So if there is something that's close to that please let me know
@@FishinwithThaChad Been there done that! I might of went back to Catcon last February if I wasn't already all geared up. I do believe in different rod types for different fishing situations. This one defiantly has it's place in my toolbox. What did you end up buy at the conference? I think I will be going back next year, even if only to meet up with long distance friends ;)
I did and have caught channel cats on them. Nice rods for sure. I plan on using it in my boat. I like a lighter more nimble rod for bank fishing. Happy Fishing!
I agree. After using it now I feel it's to heavy for bank fishing or anchor fishing with braid. Mono might give it some of the "play" it needs for circle hook sets. It casts like a stiff rod too (lacking that "slingshot" action needed for distance). I personal like a stiff backbone with a FAST tip. This one is stiff from end to end. I think it would be great for suspending/drifting baits from a boat IMHO. These opinions are for this specific weight rod not the whole Slimecat lineup. I know they have longer and lighter weight rods in their lineup. I hope this helps my friend! Happy Fishing and keep kicking butt!!!
ANDREW FLAIR ANDREW FLAIR I like heavy rods with fast tips when anchored for flatheads. Tbh I don’t know what exactly they mean by a extra medium heavy rod. I need to see one which I have not. I have heard no bad things about their site. I ordered mine from there. I know they do run low on stock but that’s because of orders. For channel cats I use medium rods. I hope that helps.
Oh yea Chunky I hear you buddy. I have my mediums for the bank and for circle hooks. I am goign to use this one in my little boat with j-hooks for Flathead ;) Happy Fishing buddy! Hope you get back to fishing the basin soon!
@@CatfishandCrappie Thank you for reply..... (You have such awesome fishing rod...💥💥💥💯 for which I can just dream of as I do not have either of them). 👍
I personal don't, but you can lay the rod on the gunnel and watch for bites. You can also go Old School and just hold on to the rod too! In South America they wrap the line around their big toe so they know when they have a bite! ;) Happy Fishing!!!
@@nighthawk9402 Personally I like most of my rods @ 7'-6". I know Slimecat makes a 5'-7" (Kayak) rod for casting reels and a 6' spinning reel rod. The 7'-6" fits in the bed of my truck diagonally and allows for decent distance when casting. When it comes down to it ,it's all a personal preference. I hope this helps. Happy Fishing!

Thanks brother! Yep I had to see what all the buzz was about for myself. I hope you love that rod and that reel! Happy Fishing Buddy!
@@CatfishandCrappie have you done an illumination test to see how it glows under a uv light? I’m getting ready to buy one or a whisker seeker?
Bought a hobie outback from a fisherman who caught 40lb catfish. He gave me this 6’ slime cat with the kayak. I catch 20-50lb stripe bass, Do you think this will hold up?
Absolutely... Good luck Finding your monster!
Subscribed luv seeing new fishing channels. Much luck on growth nice vid
Thank You Sir! I'm trying to grow a bit with each one. Happy Fishing!

That awesome I hope you love it! Happy Fishing!

Very cool Dom! I hope it come sooner than later ;) Happy Fishing!

Good point! Makes sense to me! Happy fishing!
All I am wainting is the tip action, not seeing it but thanks for the review.

Great video and channel! I really enjoyed watching! Keep up the good work!
Thank you and Happy Fishing!
hopefully can be a science for me in choosing a good fishing line, nice to meet you from Indonesia.
Nice to meet you too! Happy Fishing!
You're dead on with the J hooks for flathead. For blues ill take circle hooks hands down, but thats a totally different bite all together. Tight lines my friend!
Don't get me wrong I have caught a lot of Flathead on circle hooks. I'm just trying to fine tune my pursuit of them ;). Happy Fishing Buddy!
Are these mainly JUST for catfish? I was thinking about buying one, I usually fish for bass and stuff. So if there is something that's close to that please let me know
These probably wont be good for bass. They are heavy action Rods. For a good bass rod you can't go wrong with a Fenwick or St Croix IMHO ;)
@@Shadwkillr-jm4qd 20-40lb rod for 2-6lb bass lol
Thanks for sharing. Have been looking at those rods for some time. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I was the same way. I'm just waiting for the rain to stop so I can see if I made the right choice. I'm pretty sure I will like them for boat fishing.
@@CatfishandCrappie if I wouldn't have bought a set of cheaper before catcon I would've bought a few. Everything I've seen they look super tough

@@CatfishandCrappie new cast net, monster rod holders, whisker seaker scale and grips, new abu 7000. Can't remember what else
have u tried them out in the water yet I saw them at the cat conn but didn't really tried to get one
I did and have caught channel cats on them. Nice rods for sure. I plan on using it in my boat. I like a lighter more nimble rod for bank fishing. Happy Fishing!
Very nice review. Lots of great information
Thank You Joe! I'm glad you liked it! Happy Fishing!
How do you like the rod I know you mentioned it’s heavy which is something I don’t really like

Catfish and Crappie what weight do u prefer medium heavy or xtra medium heavy and the website is legit right

Nice fishing rod thanks for sharing. New friend here from Philippines.
Thanks and welcome
nice video
Thanks for the visit
Nice video bud fish on
Glad you enjoyed
Fantastic video very nicely done my friend unfortunately heavy action is not for me
Oh yea Chunky I hear you buddy. I have my mediums for the bank and for circle hooks. I am goign to use this one in my little boat with j-hooks for Flathead ;) Happy Fishing buddy! Hope you get back to fishing the basin soon!
who is gonna use 2 pound line on what you call a broom stick ?
I misspoke during the review ;) I run 65# Sufix 832 on it. Happy Fishing!
Big cat fever rods or slime cat green rods is stronger?
Good question. I do not have any BCF rods to compare to....
@@CatfishandCrappie Thank you for reply.....
(You have such awesome fishing rod...💥💥💥💯 for which I can just dream of as I do not have either of them). 👍
Solid info. Great video.
Thanks Jake! Happy Fishing!
How do you fish from a boat without a rod holder
I personal don't, but you can lay the rod on the gunnel and watch for bites. You can also go Old School and just hold on to the rod too! In South America they wrap the line around their big toe so they know when they have a bite! ;) Happy Fishing!!!
@@CatfishandCrappie I know a guy who fell asleep with line around his finger and nearly lost that finger when a big flathead hooked!
After using what are your thoughts on it.
I like ti a lot but woudl get the medium next time for my style of fishing!
I've got 6 of these rods and I love em
Nice! We are only allowed 2 rods in the water here in Illinois. I only wish I could run 6 rods. Happy Fishing!!
@@CatfishandCrappie only 2??? Damn...thats no fun lol. Thanks
East Tenn Kats depends how you look at it. Catching bait for 8 rods 3 times a week sounds like work to me lol. Happy fishing
What size do I get for this rod I don't want anything long

Thanks Buddy! Happy Fishing!
I’m more interested in that fine pot collection you have behind you 😂 someone in that house knows how to cook 👨🍳
That would be me ;) Thanks for watching!
Awesomeness
Thank You!
Best one for bass?
This is a trophy catfish rod ;) Happy Fishing!
@@CatfishandCrappie I know but which out of the slimecat rods do you think would be best for bass?
@@davplays_8470 to be honest I do not fish for bass. ;) Honest Answer...
Is this a 2 piece rod
It is NOT. Happy Fishing!
I have the xmh
I know you love those things Jim!!! Nice fish this weekend! Happy Fishing!
This guy doesn’t stand by his product. Have issues with the rod and reels and he won’t even talk to me.
I am sorry you're having issues with their product. Thank you for letting me know! Hope you find what you need! Happy Fishing1
