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.
This is my bass setup. Its an Abu Garcia black max on a Shakespeare Light Pro (ugly stick). If both setups have anything in common, its a good, long fighting butt. I recommend a long fighting butt for pretty much all rods.
If you have no other rods, I would actually just disregard everything I recommended and get a spinning reel instead. Baitcaster's (like both reels I I posted above) are incredibly smooth, but a pain in the ass to learn to use. not to mention expensive! <:KEK:726877368601411624>
Wouldn’t it be important to make sure it’s a doe😂 especially if you have more does than bucks, that spike would make a good buck in a couple years but you shot him
