The BEST Wal Mart Catfishing Setup For Under $70

[johnnewcomb]

The zebco bite alert rod 7 ft 17-50 ft line and a M1 5000 spinning reel for 70$ bucks is a killer setup and the reel hangs with the big boys at 20 percent of the cost.

I reeled in a sturgeon with that reel on a bream pole on accident while catfishing.

Paint your hooks with blood red fingernail polish. The fish will think it’s just blood. This helped me out a lot.

Edit: use primer before you use paint. Pro tec powder paint is a great option too.

Lol wish I would’ve seen this earlier 😂 good setup! I have hooks and sinkers but I went with an $80 tiger ugly stick rod and a pflueger for $70 with warranty on 30 pound braided and it works like a dream

[Fishing.Professor]

Thank you for giving an affordable option to someone not with a job without saying to buy a 250+ combo

[I_love_fishing]

Under rated fishing combo it works very well

[lLookzo]

those big game rods are the real deal caught a 15 lb channel on it

[macwages]

Love the Berkley Big Game! I've gone shore fishing at the beach with one!

[onecaramon]

Berkeley fusion combo for under $40 comes spooled with 17lb mono. For under $3 I put zebco 30lb mono on it.

[damianolsen]

Either the ugly stick with the fiberglass tip or the berkley big game

[evandoney]

I use the shimano fx 4000 for the same price

[trowwzers]

I have the same set up except I use a Pflueger President reel

[Danielsfishingpost]

Why the casting rod on the spinning reel

[headcrab]

is that a baitcaster rod with a spinning reel???

[Smelly_Hobo]

Save even more money by going with big game mono, you don’t really need braid for cat fishing!

[FishingWithChris_Tv]

As someone who worked for that miserable ass shithole of a company for 18 years, that’s pretty much as good as it gets.

[Catondamelon]

It doesn’t work for me should I use bait even though it wasn’t on the list?

[metromitch]

I use cat daddy with 50 pound saltwater line I use it for catfish and sharks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[DannyLamb-sfyx]

I just use nuts from tractor supply instead of buying weights

[Jack-qvp]

Hey buddy, you should probably put a big casting reel on that rod because that’s what it’s meant for
