May 9, 2022 · So I gave in to the hype and ordered an orange Hellcat rod, Medium power. Very nice rod, as it should be for the price tag ($146.95 with shipping after a 10% discount code). I love the orange color and admittedly that's what got me to try one. Rated 1-6 oz and I have no doubt it will cast that much.

Nov 22, 2021 · A 10 foot rod seems to be a decent minimum length rod, to use for carp fishing. The problem with a lot of American fishing rods is that once they get longer than 8 feet, these companies want to make them larger diameters like saltwater rods.

Aug 28, 2006 · Honestly, it works unbelievably well. I bought the white reflective tape at my local farm & ranch store, and it came in 2" strips that were 2 feet long.

Apr 4, 2006 · Well, after 3 months of use now, I have to say that my King Kat Pro rod gets a big two thumbs up! I've yet to battle anything over 20lbs, except for a limb I puled out of a stick-up that weighed probably close to 50lbs and wouldn't stop getting hung up …

Mar 30, 2023 · The bucket didn't budge and it was a fight getting the rod out of the rod holder on such a steep angle. It ended up being a 5-pound hybrid bass. Those fish sure can fight. I have complete confidence in this setup, but as usual, I will probably test it out on some carp first at the local park. Really it's just an excuse to go carp fishing.
