Description
DISCLAIMER -It has come to our attention that some Abu Garcia reels may not tighten all the way down on our new batch of rods. We are working on an adaptor that would slide over the front reel foot and allow the reel seat to be fully tightened. This issue only affects Abu Garcia reels and it is just a couple MMs short. Some customers have reported just ever so slightly bending the tip of their reel feet at an upward angle to correct this issue. If you are using any other brand of reel it should not be affected by this issue. We have developed a shim that corrects this issue that will be shipped with all rods. If your reel fits without it then it is not necessary. See the below that covers the steps needed to fix the issue.
4+ Rods of any style or brand will receive Free Shipping ($25 Savings)

5 Stars!!!
I am a diehard catfish angler with over 30 years of of catfishing experience. Over the years I have tried hundreds of rods ranging from Ugly Sticks to full out customs with $1,000+ price tags which makes me a pretty tough critic on new rods. I pursue trophy class Blue cats and Flatheads with a passion and have hundreds of trophy cats to my credit. In the waters I fish 50lb + fish are common and a personal best of 87lb 2oz Blue Cat. My tackle gets put through the paces and has to standup to big line, big weight and even bigger fish. I discovered Warrior Cat rods a while back and being an Catfish Rod addict I had to have one. I now have four of the Warrior Cat 7’9” XH casting rods. I am posting this review to tell anyone you will not find a finer rod in this price range anywhere and can tell you first hand these rods will perform with or outperform rods that cost far more. I run 80-150 lb test braid and throw over two pounds of weight and bait on occasion and these rods have no issues.
Beyond the impressive quality and performance of the Warrior Cat rods I can’t say enough about the service I have received dealing with Warrior Cat. John and the team at Warrior Cat are second to none. Super fast shipping, excellent packaging and a customer service response that is always friendly and willing to go to amazing lengths to ensure customer satisfaction. Thanks John and everyone on Team Warrior Cat.

It has been a long search to find a really good HD casting rod for big cats. The Warrior Cat XH has exceeded all of my expectations. Pair that with superb customer service and it’s a win win. I look forward to adding more Warrior Cats to my collection.
