[quote:Anonymous Coward 28540064:MV8yMDY4OTQzXzM0ODE3NTM1XzMyRDZBNjA3] The guy that said keep your line "taunt" meant taut of course. In my opinion that's not the best way, because even though catfish aren't as skittish as trout, if they feel resistance they won't bite or bite as well. Use an egg shaped sinker heavy enough to hold your line in the middle of the river, with the split shot below it to keep it from sliding down on the hook. That lets the fish pick up the bait and run with it. One old family secret is to soak the bait in anise oil before fishing. The main ingredient in the spray fish attractors is anise. I also highly recommend ugly sticks. I've got dozens of brands of spinning and fly rods. My all time favorite spinning rod is ugly stick. I trout and smallmouth fish with spinning gear, and a 7 foot ultralite Ugly Stick spinning rod is in my opinion the best rod made for the money. [/quote]

I live near a river and I know it has catfish in it, but I need advice on what kind of rod and reel to buy to catch them from the shore. In a SHTF situation, it might be the only food I have.
I just want something good and reliable that I can probably get from Walmart. Any thoughts?
