Hi guys,

just a quick intro : I'm Dan, I'm a fishing guide in Spain. I fish mostly for big European Catfish called Wels. They go anywhere upto 240lbs and measure upto 2.6 meters long. BIG fish !

I'm getting a rod made by RKCUSTOMFISHINGRODS (who i see is a member on here, hi Rick!)

Just wondering if the blank : LSB1202M would be man enough to take such huge fish ? Its 4/12oz casting weight, 10 foot ... sounds like quite a beasty rod but I'm not too sure as its described as a "medium" strength.

Whats everyones opinions ? Seeing that these fish pull very hard and weigh alot ...

Any views appreciated, hope I havn't babbled on too much !?

Thanks,
Dan
