High action rod with a whole lot more to offer than a stiff piece of rebar!!
Personally I believe this rod far surpasses Berkeley Big Game and Ugly Stick!..Ahh they are ok but just never really cared for them or their performance.The Chop Stick,... now we are talking about a hell of catfish rod! Very well constructed, great power and balance. Plenty of flex and sensitivity with great hook setting backbone.I have not hooked into one worthy of what this rod is designed for but hope to very soon.I hope Catfish Sumo does very well and in the future will make a shorter version say round 6’ to 6’6” for the average set up for the more common 6 to 10 pond cats. That would be nice.If your looking for a great big cat rod?, that feels and handles like a Cadillac drives, this is the one!The way they ship their rod is fist class not 2nd.Wow! It was shipped in a cardboard tube which intern was shipped in a box. The rod itself was in a soft case in the tube.Absolutely professional.Some big boys out there don’t have the shipping pride Catfish Sumo has for dang sure.Give it a try I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Better off using it for panfish
I rarely ever leave a review of less than 5 stars. However, my 2 piece rod is now a 3 piece rod. My brother was using this rod while we were targeting blue cats. A nice fish took the bait and the rod snapped about a foot above the handle costing me a rod and more importantly, him a nice fish. Drag was set properly, using specified line, weight, etc. Also, reel seating is extremely loose. Had to fix it myself because my reel could go 360 degrees around the handle. Definitely would not recommend this rod.

Great product - Highly recommended
The packaging is great. They ship it in a hard tube that protects the rod. The rod itself is great quality. The colors stand out and I love the tip. I highly recommend this item.I ordered 6 of these rods if that tells you something..

Nice rod...reel seat a little loose..
Caught some heavy cats with this rod.. No problems. Strong backbone, sensitive tip. Only issue that makes me a bit nervous is the reel seat is a bit loose. Matched up with a Kastking rover 80.

Lots of catfish...
Sometimes it's tough to break apart. But other than that it is a beautiful sturdy rod!The tip is sensitive enough to not miss anything if you pay attention. Also the packaging was top-notch the best so far...

Great pole
Great pole. I was finally able to use this sucker and it’s fantastic. It’s pretty sensitive for how large it is. I really like the two piece design and how well it fits together. It doesn’t seem like a high quality pole it is one plan and simple. Good looks and excellent performance. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t buy this pole especially at this price.

I’m ready to get some catfish!
The rod is very sturdy and easy to transport because it’s a 2 piece rod. I’m looking forward to using it to see if the catfish like it as much as I do.
