Anglers are asking

Which CTF rod is right for me?

It depends on what you fish for. For big catfish, the Hellcat Revenge gives you the most power, and the Big Cat Fever is our all-rounder for any water. For stripers there’s the Striper Stealth, and for crappie the Precision Series. If you need a two-piece that fishes like a one-piece, get the Ravix. Still not sure? Message us on live chat and we’ll match you to the right rod.

Which power and action should I choose?

Power and action decide how the rod bends and how much force it takes to set the hook. Every rod page has a specs table with lure weight and line weight for each power. You can also ask us on live chat and we’ll help you pick for your target species.

What’s the difference between casting and spinning?

Casting reels sit on top of the rod and give you more accuracy and power, so they suit heavier lures and experienced anglers. Spinning reels sit underneath, are easier to use and are more forgiving with lighter lines and lures.

Can I use CTF rods in saltwater?

Yes. The Hellcat Revenge, for example, is built for salt or fresh water. Each rod’s page shows the waters and species it’s built for.

What if I order the wrong length, power or color?

All sales are final. For details, please see our Shipping & Returns policy.

What’s covered under the warranty?

Every CTF rod comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, automatically. If we find your rod defective, we replace it free, including shipping. Register within 14 days of purchase and you also get our 2-Year Fever Protection Plan: the same rod at 50% off retail plus shipping if you break it by accident. Keep your receipt and file any claim within 7 days of the damage.

How long will delivery take?

Orders typically ship within 1 business day and arrive 1 to 5 days after shipping. Our fulfillment hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon ET. Orders placed after noon ET on Friday will be processed the following Monday. Free shipping applies to fishing rod orders of $199 or more within the lower 48 states.

Need help? Our chat is available 24/7, and our team is available during the customer service hours listed on our Contact page.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship to Canada, Australia and Europe through Global-e. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout, so there are no surprise fees on delivery.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Where can I see CTF rods in person?

Do you reward anglers who fish CTF?

Yes. Break a certified state record with a CTF rod, and you could earn $20,000 through The CTF State Record Promotional Payout program.
