    I haven’t had one in my hand but I have to ask why they have such a small fore end grip?

    A few years back I used a St Croix Triumph for Sturgeon and Channels and it was a great rod but the dang front grip was too small for larger fish. It brought them in but would have felt more comfortable with another inch or so of cork.

    Well no blues up here.

    Flats – Cut sucker/creek chub, live sucker/creek chub/bullheads and gills if we’re fishing on the WI side.

    Channel Cats – Dip Baits/fiber baits, crawlers, shad, cut sucker. Some that use liver, wieners and spam.

    This picture was a St Croix premier musky 8′ heavy s glass rod vs 64 x 29.25″ sturgeon. I would be interested to see the xh mojo cat but there are several rods for less that would match up. I would like some more power for when the day comes when I meet up with the 70 incher from my dreams.

    Possibly a bluish tinged channel cat, but no, there are no blue catfish in MN.

    David there was a fella that claimed to have caught a 30+ blue out of the MN. In fact there was a DNR press release about it.

    With a little further investigating he was charged with transporting wild game across state lines and filing a false report. Fines paid… guilty as charged.

    There’s a post on it in this forum back a few years. With pictures. )

    Yeah, a criminal record.

    As far as I know, there aren’t any Blues in the Mississippi, or it’s tributaries, upstream from the dam at Keokuk, Iowa. You always hear someone say they caught a Blue, but it’s usually a male channel cat that is dark, dark grey to the point it appears to be blue. And their head is swollen so they don’t look like a usual channel cat.

    In short, like Brian said, no blues in Minnesota.
