Mackem have a look at the shimano technium sturgeon rod it rated for 40 to 80lb braid bUT has a very sensitive tip. An uptide or spoding rod might also work.

I need something small mate,the fish often run under the jetty and a smaller rod can muscle them out,i used a 10 Foot spod rod 5lb tests curve a few years ago,it was ok when they ran out into the lake but when they came at me it didnt cut it,I will have a look at the sturgeon rod and a few others,the cats in the lake run up to 330? pounds and the arapaima are much bigger,i dont want to go over there for a week long session undergunned.

I think that the Ugly Stik Uptide 5-10oz is worth a look. It is 9' 6" and breaks just above the but to give a travelling length of around 7'. It will dead lift the same weight as my Fox 5.5lb tc spod rod but is far more forgiving and through actioned.

Cant say what the best rod is cos iv never tryed them all but the best i own are my freespirit hi S carp rods

I've got one of their rods that would just suit Mackem. Double built split cane with a steel spine. God knows what test curve it is as I can't bend the bugger.

Diawa Paul Kerry bass rod 11ft had it about 23 years now it's still going strong minus the odd eye replacement landed lots including mullet, bass, carp, pike, snook, buff bream, snapper and stingray on it ! great all purpose rod.

Daiwa do an 8.6ft 6lb tc and 9.2ft 5lb whisker catfish rod and from what I've been reading , the freespirit 10ft 6lb tc rods are used at gillhams

I'll third that, my youngest brother has one and it seems nigh on indestructible.

Fox duo-lites for the river.atb dc

They snap for fun. I snapped 3 and my cousin snapped one. The 'solid' tip is good, but the quiver one often breaks. They had a load sent back.

Diawa Porky Pig, now thats a rod...

Best rod I ever bought is a 12 foot Daiwa Whisker Kevlar Match. Couldn't ask for a better rod for waggler or stick float fishing on rivers, although it did most of its work on lakes and I've had some glorious days using it, and..... I still have it
