Black Flathead Catfish
Then we set out 2 rods each and began our wait . 30 mins later my rod with a crappie for bait was bent over and I reeled in this nice 15lb flathead that was the darkest flattie I have seen. James said he has caught a few dark ones here but this was a first for me. All the flatheads I have ever caught were that normal yellow brown. Not a huge fish but I was happy to of caught one that color. We actually didn't land another fish but it was a good day.
Reels used-
Daiwa Procaster PS55 loaded with 30 lb Cajun line
Abu Garcia 7000C loaded with 40 lb Cajun line
Both on American Spirit "Nite Stiks" 7' Med Hvy Rods
Rig was my usual Bottom rig for cats consisting of a Bank sinker and short leader with a good hook.

What size mesh for the shiners? Thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for article. I've been given a daiwa procaster ps55 reel and wanted to catch some catfish here in Europe. How does the reel cope? Also I'm struggling to find a rod to match it with as I think you have more choice in USA. It would have to be a 2 peice.
Tight lines😀
Daiwa 55 is an awesome reel. never had a problem with it.
