Nice catches! You use the same tackle as or stripers? I do...... Is it wise? proly not! I'm sure a 90-100 lb cat would totally destroy my gear but i'm not going to spend the money on a separate rod set up at this point. I just consider it Big Cattin on light tackle!  Probably the worst part is the amount of lead i'm throwing with the striper rods that are only supposed to handle an oz. or two. But since i'm already sitting on top of the fish its not like I have to do a surf cast to get to the fish, so I have been just lobbing the heavy leads and haven't had any trouble yet.  |
