Santiago a great place to start is getting to know your prey and how it moves thinks fights ect. And my best advice is to go to old pros or older hunters and they would most likely love to tell you how.
just about any 3/0+ baitcaster or heavy duty spinning real matched with an appropriately sized ugly stick. I'll post a pic of my catfish setup in just a sec.
pretty archaic, but it works. Personally, I recommend graphite over fiberglass as graphite is generally more durable and sensitive to fish vibrations. also, most 3/0s these days are half the size as the one I have.
for bass, I would go with a lighter set up. a 1/0 at most. I also like graphite rods for bass. If your only fishing for bullheads/small catfish, this will work just fine. Just don't expect to be landing 30lb behemoths on a bass rod.
