The catfish is one of the strongest fish you can catch in Europe — and you need special fishing gear for that. At De Goeie Vangst you will find everything you need to fish for catfish in a targeted and responsible way. Whether you fish statically with pellets or actively with lures and teaser wood: we have the right gear for your technique and water.
Our range consists of sturdy catfish rods, powerful reels, braided lines, ready-made leaders, lead systems and well-thought-out lures. For complete catfish sets or fishing trips to, for example, the Ebro or Po, you have come to the right place with us.
Choose the right gear for your way of fishing
For static catfish fishing you use a long, powerful rod (5–6 lb) combined with a strong reel with ample line capacity. A good drag is crucial during the fight. Many anglers choose a braided main line with a fluorocarbon or nylon leader, depending on obstacles and current.
Are you going to actively fish with lures? Then a shorter rod with a casting weight up to 300 grams is ideal. Combine that with a robust reel (size 4000–6000) and a braided line of 0.20 to 0.25 mm. Large swimbaits, spinners and pilkers are particularly effective, especially in deep and murky water.
Fishing with teaser wood and teaser is also spectacular. For this you use inline rods and special baited teasers that you present manually from a belly boat or boat. This requires control, strength and sturdy gear.
