I bought a cheap heavy Shimano FX S-90MHB2 - in the 9' size for heavy cat fishing. happy so far - it wup'd a 12 pounder no problem........ and if it breaks - so what at $19.99. Comes in 8' as well if 9' is too much rod for you.

Cool, thanks.... This maybe a bit much for Ottawa Cats but I have been looking for a rod that can through a nice size weight at a lure to help with the Musky hunt. Maybe it will get double duty.

Next time Basspro has free shipping I'll order it (unless they have it at LeBaron)
