Mad Katz Catch Big Cats

so all right people catfish dave here uh i'm in fort loudoun reservoir gonna fish this thing a couple more times and i'll start running around to other lakes this is the madcap rod trials basically part two uh part one was called a rod swapping and fish busting it's that time of year fish are here i got some new rods man and uh i've already done a daytime video with them and this is to see how well they show up at night i'm not sure how those blue ones are gonna look at night i know the wraps are visible and the top of them is very visible we'll just have to see how they look under video lights i know the green one and the white one will look good at night the green one is a mad cat signature series rod it's medium heavy the blue ones are called blue ghosts they're a medium action and that's called a white ghost which is a medium heavy as well just like the green one bait is fresh that's always best three baits on dragon weights one is suspended there she goes there she goes the blue ghost [Applause] fish on there we go nice oh teenager for 14 pound fish probably um rod gets a really good bend in it uh but yet it stops in the backbone area so it's it's setting the hooks nicely it's a fun rod to reel them in with these rods would be good if you're anchor fishing for those light biting flat heads real subtle plenty of tip movement to sense the bite and not spook the fish and if he does hit it hard you've got the backbone for a hook set so if i lived in a flathead prone area i could see these medium action rods being really good for my use of course they're really good right out here i'm pretty sure i got these towels from old cousin delbert thank you cousin delbert old cousin delbert supplies me in towels hooks all kind of tackle beep jerky tennessee river in the fall this is a good time of year right here there she goes there she goes oh oh that's a bigger fish right there that's a bigger fish i'm like sit down for this one yes sir yes sir get this suspended rod up out of the way here get this other rod out of the way that feels like a good fish right there there she is that's a nice fish right there that's a nice fish right there come on y'all oh shoot he come out the net they come out the net [Music] [Applause] yes sir that's a good fish right there that's a nice fish right there y'all the green rod handled them well yes sir that's a nice fish look at that that green rod man handled that fish well a lot of backbone still had headband a lot of backbone i don't have ultraviolet light i'm just running a regular led work light for my videos if you put the right kind of light on these rods they will glow up i'm gonna see how well they do just for my regular light that i use the video with one on the medium action and a nice one on the medium heavy we haven't been fishing 20 minutes and the night's still young he's on there he's on there he's on there oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah he's on there okay i got that net caught in the hook keeper of that skipjack rod over there there's one on the blue angel rod medium action a lot of flex but uh it still set the hook on this blue catfish on a suspended bite and that's a pretty thick wire hook i'm using that hook is a eagle claw l2004 11 ought so it's got thick wire set the hook no problem they're doing what they're supposed to they're catching fish and looking good doing it too nice looking rods very attractive package the only one that hasn't hooked up is the white ghost let's get one on the white ghost well you can see now that it's dark i can see it on my screen here even the darkest rod those blue ghosts the wraps are very visible on video and of course the top is very visible so i could do night video even with those just the way those wraps are but the green and the white are definitely the brightest and that white is really popping that's the whitest white i've ever seen right there see if we can get one on that white ghost rod all right y'all we're gonna put on an extra layer it's chilly out here tonight i should be wearing some coveralls but i'm not so we gonna throw on this extra layer officially the first week of november and just had a cold front go through the best bite was in the shallower water so we're headed back that way right now once we got over 30 foot nothing they're up there feeding on them shad we are heading up shallower the goal is to get a fish on that white ghost rod that's the only one that ain't caught one yet there it goes there goes the white ghost there goes the white ghost there goes the white ghost that line's

wearing them out putting these mad cat rods to work we're getting a hundred percent hookup rate on these rods even that one fish that i didn't think he stuck well he stuck all right y'all that's plenty of footage and gonna be a pretty long video so i'm gonna cut it there the night's still young um this was my second outing with these rods the first one was a day trip got a really nice flathead in that video several good blues tonight you all got to see how that medium action performed on a big fish as opposed to the medium heavy the medium rod is a much lighter rod more comfortable because it just doesn't hardly weigh as much gives you that big bend man to make the fish fight and fun the medium heavy it's a winch for pulling in big fish it'll do it i'm impressed with the rods they look great they feel great fighting the fish great hookup we've hooked everything that's hit tonight and we couldn't have tried them at a better time which is the fall bite i told you all several videos ago when i started fishing here these other boys was posting some good fish out of milton hill lake and stuff i said i'm not going to do that this year i'd done that the previous two years i want to get some good fish right here at home right here on fort loudoun when this water gets right and it is now i knew it would happen so i heard about the mad cat rods a couple years ago i was already using those big cat fever rods and uh i seen all the colors and stuff they had out and i didn't think much of it at the time but here they are a couple years later i believe they've sold over 70 000 rods uh they're taken off like wildfire and for a good reason man they got a good product i'm excited to be using these rods in the future and i'm going to have a lot of fun pulling in some big fish on them hope you all enjoyed the video this is a video there was fish in the video that makes it a fishing video this is catfish dave with another one signing out
