The price is cheap, but they function as advertised. What I love most about this combo is the back-bone of the rod, and the distance I can cast. I have 30lb braid on the reel and I can easily, or accidentally, toss a 2oz sinker, leader, and bait 35+ yards.

I bought 2 of these for a fishing trip I had planned on the Mississippi river. One of the two broke in the first hour of fishing. The lever that keeps the reel from spinning backwards broke. I took it back and BPS gave me my money back. I plan on spending more on the the replacement.
The other one seems to work ok. It has a year warranty so we will see.

this is a awesome combo, i got two when i went to bsp, i catch 30-65 pound blue cats. i first started out with the zebco 808 and 888, but they didnt hold up so well to the casting and line compacity that i wanted and needed. i took theses combos ( cat busters 10foot ) and i put 65 pound braid from power pro and a 3oz weight on it and casted out with cut bait and i didnt think this thing would ever stop it was maybe 80 yards or more. i was the talk of the lake that day i also reeled 3 blues weighting 33.9, 51.2, and 63.4 every fish was caught with this combo, no problems total control of the fish. A catfishermen needs insurance when they go out fishing for cats well fellows this is it this is your insurance get it get two when you do you will see.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Xavier2101 Exactly what i wanted!!
I was looking to replace one of my old fishing rods, so i did a little searching and found this one. Reviews looked good on it so i got it. Came decently fast, but i paid the slow shipping. Was exactly what i was expecting, i got the 10'. Went out on the water that weekend and launched it out there. See i fish off the dock since i don't have my own boat yet. And well over here the boat rentals season doesn't start until April. And to get some catfish i need a little distance. Boy did this give me some distance, and started catching some right there. Nothing huge, but definitely was worth the wait. Action was smooth, easy to use. I would say a solid reel and good if you want to make some distance in your casting. Would recommend to anyone who likes to catfish :)

In general, how does this combo compare to the Shakespeare® Ugly Stik® Catfish Spinning Rod and Reel Combo, BP item number 38-930-810-00 ? Overall, which is better, and why?Answers
Details:Â
How would this combo perform for general non-cat fishing, including bass, trout, and crappie? What is the range of lure weights on the 7’ MH combo?Answers
A:Â
This combo is not for fast retrieve casting like you would when fishing for bass and trout, a little heavy duty for that type of fishing.Details:Â
The reason I ask is that after using my Cat Buster several times this year the line actually wore in half. Do I need to get it replaced so soon?Answers

id use it till it is shot and wont reel or anythingA:Â
yes this is a great combo but no combo is going to come with great line.A:Â
There is nothing wrong with the line that it comes with . Maybe the area that you are fishing is rocky or has a lot of structure that could be damageing the lineQ:Â

is the 10' combo stiff with a fast tip or is it a slow action rod and how many ounces can it hold?
Details:Â
i want a good catfish combo that hold 1 to 8 ounces and a reel with a bait clicker(alarm)Answers

i really think this rod more for bass and maybe small catfishA:Â
Its defintely pretty stiff and has slow action . The cat buster combo I bought comes with a min. of series 500 spinning reel . Maybe its even a little heavier. No bait runner on it .

This combo doesn't have a bait clicker, and I don't think I'd use any sinker more than 2 ounces. Maybe 4, but like I said in my review, the rod is so flimsy, I don't think you'll have much luck casting with so much weight on there. It's a good cheap combo for using night crawlers and chicken livers in relatively calm waters with a 1-2 ounce weight (or less). Good luck and take care!Images for this Answer
