Message:
Hi everyone, I am going to Greenvile dam with my dad next weekend and I want to know if a 6" shakesphere ugly-stik Medium action with 8# mono can take a catfish??

I think the rod is fine. It's fiberglass with plenty of backbone, but I would change the line for 12# florocarbon to avoid a break off from a big cat.

stay with the mono, use your drag it will be good practice on fighting a big fish i belive i asked if this is your only setup if so leave it be, flora line can be a pain in the butt for veterian anglers. this is the time of the year to buy a new set up everybody got deals right now you can get a nice setup under 50 bucks :wink:
