The White Lightning makes particular sense when you are setting baits from the bank or spreading multiple catfish rods across a boat rod rack. Its 7'6" spinning format provides a substantial catfishing platform, while the glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive finish becomes especially useful after sunset when several rods may need to be monitored at the same time.
Put the White Lightning into the rotation when you want a dedicated spinning rod for blue cats, flatheads, and channel cats that can move between bank, boat, daytime, and nighttime catfishing.
Trophy Cat Tackle lists the rod for both bank and boat fishing and specifically identifies blue catfish, flathead catfish, and channel catfish as target species. That makes it a useful option for anglers who want one heavy-duty spinning catfish rod that can move between different fishing locations.
The white finish can be charged to glow after dark, making the rod easier to monitor during nighttime catfishing. That is particularly useful when several rods are spread along the bank or positioned across a boat rod rack.
Yes. In addition to glowing in the dark, the white finish is UV-reactive and can be illuminated with a UV or black light for increased visibility during nighttime fishing.
The S-Glass blank gives the White Lightning the backbone intended for fighting heavy catfish while the fast action maintains responsiveness for casting, bite detection, and controlling a fish under load.
This is the 7'6" spinning version of the Trophy Cat Tackle White Lightning. It uses seven stainless steel rod guides and is intended to be paired with a spinning-reel setup.
