Do not go too light
Rod, reel, line, hook and leader must match. Tackle that is too light increases break-offs and poor unhooking outcomes.
Prepare unhooking
Unhooking tools, gloves and organised bank space are as important as the rig.
- Powerful rod
- Robust reel
- Heavy line
- Suitable leader
- Gloves
- Large pliers
FAQ
Can I target catfish with light tackle?
It is not recommended. Targeting catfish requires tackle strong enough to fight and unhook fish properly.
