Catfish Rod

If your target fish is one of Thailand's big catfish species,
the choice of fishing rod is very important.

Thai Fishing Guide's recommended catfish rod is a one piece rod
built up over a 7 ft, 15 - 30 lb Viva Blank.

It has a 35 cm foam butt, a high quality (Fuji) reel seat
and a 15 cm foam foregrip.

The ring guides are also a very important factor for preventing line wear,
and the best result is achieved by having 6 ceramic Fuji guides.

This rod will, when used correctly, make it possible to steer
and control most of the extremely powerful catfish
and still let you enjoy fighting smaller by-catches.

This rod is fitted with a Shimano Baitrunner 4500.
It is standard equipment when freshwater fishing with
Thai Fishing Guide in Phuket, Hat Yai and Bangkok.
