Is This Rod and Rod/Reel Ok for Cats ?

[Fisherman For a Lifetime]

New to Cats & Sturgeon fishin', so I would like to know if this Rod and Rod/Reel I use for Northerns & Muskies is Ok to use for Cats or if I should buy different...

Rod: St Croix Premier 1-piece, 7' Med-Heavy Power, Fast Action SCII Graphite. 8-14 Lb., 3/8-3/4 Oz (why so light on Med-Hvy?)

Reel: Daiwa BG30 Spinning

Thanks!!

Should be fine to get you started with st. croix sturgeon and channels. You will have a tough time casting heavy sinkers and baits. If you get into it more then you can upgrade.
