Well, that's the 12 weight catfish rod done. Getting tested later this month on 100lb+ Wels catfish  *smiley-shocking*

Needless to say, it is an Epic Boca Grande, fitted with titanium REC reel seat, titanium Fuji K guides and Fuji thread. Those guides are incredibly light by the way.

Sandy doesn’t do bling  *smiley-tongue-out*

Thanks chaps.

As for Sandy...there is my trying to strive for simplicity like Sandys rods and the customer just wants LOUD ;)

Unfortunately they only caught small catfish during the trip, the nights were well below freezing and so the big fish did not feed.
