Fishing is my passion. But as a professional fisherman and the host of the Catfish & Carp YouTube channel, fishing is also my trade.

For years I have wanted a lightweight, slim bait fishing rod made with the highest quality materials so it can handle trophy fish. I asked Whisker Seeker Tackle to make this rod because of their great customer service and experience making responsive, high-quality catfishing rods.

The Catfish & Carp series rods are the rod I have been hoping for. The C&C series rods have the light weight and slim profile of a quality bass rod, but the sensitive parabolic through action of a rod designed for bait fishing. These rods are a joy to cast, and they connect you to the fight like no other rod on the market.

I have torture tested these rods on massive blue catfish and flatheads, giant northern pike, Alaskan silver salmon, deep water rockfish, and pacific cod. These rods handle them all beautifully, but a 2 lb channel catfish is still fun to fight on this rod. This is because quality materials and workmanship perform well in every situation.

After owning over 150 fishing rods, I have finally found my favorite fishing rod, and it won't break the bank. "
