WHISKER SEEKER CHAD FERGUSON GFX CASTING RODS

Information

Serious catfish anglers understand that the right rod is critical for success. Battling massive catfish requires precise control, as these powerful fish can dominate with an inadequate rod. From hauling huge blue catfish off the bottom, extracting giant flatheads from timber-strewn river bends, to delicately targeting channel catfish, my daily work demands a rod with the ideal blend of strength, weight, and sensitivity—qualities I struggled to find despite years of searching.

After 15 years guiding catfish trips, I’d nearly abandoned hope of discovering the ultimate catfish rod. Then, I encountered Whisker Seeker Tackle’s innovative gear and knew they were the perfect partner to create the Chad Ferguson Signature Series Catfish Rods. Our mission was clear: design an unmatched line of “perfect” rods, supported by an exceptional warranty. I spent a year rigorously testing and refining every detail, subjecting the rods to extreme conditions to uncover any flaws. After landing thousands of pounds of trophy blue catfish, numerous massive flatheads, and countless channel catfish, I proudly endorsed the final product.

The debut rod in the Chad Ferguson Signature Series is a Medium Heavy action model, crafted for diverse catfishing methods and scenarios. It’s a true all-purpose rod for every angler, excelling in landing big cats, finesse fishing for smaller ones, drifting, trolling, tightlining, or casting stink bait. With its striking design, it’s the only rod worthy of the Chad Ferguson, Catfish Edge, and Whisker Seeker names—a revolutionary tool for catfishing.
