Just wanted to let you know I made the first flathead trip of the year. Mmagis and I caught 4. Largest was 42.

[DARK30]

Nice one Robby! ...again. Was this in a lake situation? I never got one over forty all last year but I'm looking forward to changing that...maybe I should come see ya!

[PierBridge]

Nice job Katchaser......what a beauty.

Dark I'm the proud new owner of a JIM MOYER BOSS 7ft 6in CASTING rod 20-40lb.........

[Ralph Wiggum]

Very nice fish, Katfisher...send more of them up these ways

[DARK30]

Hey PierBridge, Nice choice! Where did you pick it up? I have yet to put my hands around one but that will happen! I intended on going down to Clarksville again this spring and fish with Jim (and pick up a new rod) but I couldn't swing it yet. I know he has them in Catfish Connection.

Kevin..

Pier Bridge got it at Moores bait in Minneapolis(4 blocks north of crosstown on lyndale ave). I know he ordered in 6 of them(Jim Moyer rods)... PB got 1, I wouldnt be surprised if another dissapeares when I head over and check them out tomorrow.

Someone told me you used these rods....

Moores Bait had 3 of these on display I bought the JIM MOYER BOSS 7ft 6" CASTING 20-40lb not sure if he had more in the back or not, he does have JIM MOYER BOSS 7ft 6in CASTING 17-30lb and a 14-20lb also.

A little spendy at $69 but he seems to take great pride in his craftmanship......

Test run tonight...

[DARK30]

I have a two of the old E-cat rods which he sold in partnership with Berkley. Jim's new ones are a venture on his own I believe or at least he's handling a lot of the marketing anyhow...not sure. If theres one guy who loves and respects those kitties..Its Jim Moyer

Another "good ol river rat" who sells good rods is Dan Gapen. I've got a few of those too. You don't see them around much but they are at the sportshow every spring.

Well .. they're down to 1 Moyer rod at Moores now and its the lighter rod(10#-20#). He is getting more in very soon.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I got to check out the MH version tonight and it is a sweet rod!

[Guest]

I checked out the medium heavy, and the heavy rod and they are both awesome rods. A respectable amount of tip, enough length to cast at 7' 6", perfect action, great backbone, a well designed fighting handle, reasonably light weight and smaller diameter, and just stiff enough to have some sensitivity. I would say that these are the best built cat rods I have seen so far... even surpassing the custom cat rods I have seen that are owned by friends.

The lightest of the rods does not fit my preference (10#-20#).. but it seems it would be a very good circle hook rod with the slow loading action. Its a nice rod for channel cats and would be tough to beat.

[Ed Carlson]

Eh Dark and Robby...HOWDY!

Been a while...thought I would just pop in and say..Howdy.

Nice fish Robby!! As usuall...

[DARK30]

Well HOWDY! then. Hows it goin Ed? Geez, we got to get up that way and fish ur kitties! I'm thinkin a trip to the outlaws soon in Fergus..maybe we can wet a line then.
