Yes there are flatheads in Seneca lake and a huge channel cat population. There's also a good amount of stripers and white bass. As for spots I like to fish in the coves and close to the original Creek channel.

[/quote] nice, I like penn reels overall, the only thing that has kept me from buying another squall is the clicker is tough for smaller fish to pull out and I feel like it scares them off[/quote] We're not after small fish Morgan! lol

Why you need 2 piece rods? Just curious.

Cool looking fish! Definitely some kind of pigment loss.

I too run the Hi-Seas mono. I run 80# power pro braid on a few outfits too.

I run the Shimano Tekota 600s. Casts great and plenty of line capacity.

Have you tried the smaller Charlie Brown hooks for channels yet? I have some buddies that been running the size 6/0 and 7/0 and they are real impressed. Been fishing them both ways, locked down and clicker.

I'd say pretty comparable to the cat fight rods. Maybe a moderate action instead of fast like the cat fight. More bend throughout the rod instead of just the tip is what I'm meaning. I know a lot of guys like the ugly cats but I never really been a fan for other than small channels.

If your looking for a good dependable rod that's not going to break the bank I would suggest the Nite Stick Pros with cork handles. I've caught 30#+ flathead and blues over 40 on these rods. I've also caught small channels on them. A very versatile rod for the money. The 7'6" model is what I'm talking about. www.bottomdwellerstackle.com/american_spirit.htm

The 8/0 would work just fine. They are just a slight bit bigger than the gamma hooks.

For channel cats the Big Game rods would work. I wouldn't trust them for anything bigger. As for snagging rods I can't help ya there?
