So, as you guys know, I'm getting back in the game of fishing. I have 2 rods right now, both medium action rods with decent reels that are just fine for catching crappies and trout, although I'm not sure about some of the ones you guys are catching. Most of mine are 12-14 inchers, pan size out of creeks.
My father in law has a great place on the river a few miles south of Swan Falls, so I often stop there and occasionally catch a catfish if I decide to fish.
My question is what would be a good setup to catch big catfish? I've caught a few there that are in the 25-30 inch range, but I'm also considering targeting some bigger fish maybe further down the river towards Brownlee this summer, and my current setups feel like they might be lacking if I were to hook up to something bigger.
Looking for rod, reel and line suggestions. Thank you guys. This is now one of my favorite forums to visit, I've got a lot of reading to do on the main forum, but I will eventually get caught up.
