Hey Dave, matt from Colorado. I'm glad you got some recognition and respect from a rod manufacturer. You work hard every weekend to share your expertise with all of us. I think you get so many views because you are a real fisherman not a fishing celebrity. Just like the rest of us you are a weekend warrior always trying to find some time to throw
Nice rods Dave, Randy from Lake of the Ozarks here. Enjoy watching you and copying you techniques. Just looking to catch bigger fish here. Keep Throwing!
I was thinking about purchasing some new rods over the winter... My decision has changed since watching this video... There are a lot of quality rods out there, but hearing the truth about customer service and loyalty makes a big difference, in my opinion. I know you didn't have any kind of "official" deal with them. But... they should take what you have done for their band more seriously. My business will go to a different place. Thank you for your honesty. We, as viewers, appreciate it and RESPECT it.
They must have pretty darn good rods cause Dave ain’t gonna sugar coat anything! Giving someone like Dave a product shows how much they believe it’s good….we’re happy for ya CD hope a boatload of other products follow suit!
Dave you have earned the respect of the fishing Community with showing all types of fish big or small you show them all great job Dave fish on from Illinois
Glad to see you received some recognition from a good rod company. I enjoy the videos and making these videos are not the easiest thing in the world. Thank you for the awesome content.
BCF rods don't have bad juju on them. Dave broke that rod with his cringe worthy netting technique. Watch the video. Furthermore, the tip of one of mind warped and BCF replaced it no questions asked.
Great video Catfish Dave. Glad Matt sent you those rods. I’ve been using them for a little over a year and they are just about the only rods I use. Love your channel. Keep em coming.
Well said Catfish Dave, tell them how you feel. So glad that Mad Katz rods did what they did and you deserved it. Hope you get an endorsement and a link attachment so you can get a commission . My only rod purchases will be from Mad Katz rods from here on. Thanks again for a wonderful video.!!!
Thank You Dave and Mad Katz Rods for another Great video. I love them Flattys. Keep the videos coming Dave. I watch everyone You make. Thank You for sharing. Stay Safe!!!
Thanks for standing your ground on poles. I think you got a better swap. Madkats are great poles. I use them and B&M.. Have fun doing what you enjoy, keep vids coming out.
Don't ever change Dave. Just keep being you & doing what you do best. At first thought the rods might be light in tip but proved that wrong quickly. Stay safe Dave. 👍
Congrats on the new rods, smart move by Mad Katz for giving their rods to the GOAT, theyre gonna sell a ton of them. Nice rods at a good price. But I think I’ll stick with my Whisker Seekers, haven’t let me down yet. Fish on Dave!!
You do make these companies a lot of money. You are the whole reason I discovered and fell in love with okuma longitude surf rods. I now have way more than I need 🤷🏿♂️😂
Great job Dave! Don't matter if you're using a willow limb or any of the products you have... You are the best entertainer as well as best catfisiherman out there! WOOOOO
Good show Dave! Now considering I have 5 new rigs that haven't even seen water I still bookmarked Mad Katz Gear for future reference. Nice looking line-up and I do have a Winter project hot-rodded Abu Garcia in mind but S&H have been my stopping point so far but I've got my eyes on some eye-catching alternatives from the Japanese market. Finally broke down and purchased an Okuma Latitude (9' H casting). Looks and feels fantastic with a light weight 6500. Not impressed with the guides but I'm gonna run it just due to the comfy handle. I can clearly see and feel why you run those 12's with your larger conventional reels. At any rate thanks for the show and information!
I believe those are made over here in North Carolina. They seem to be really good supporters of the catfishing community and the sport. Hope they work really good for you! Always enjoy your vids. Keep it up.
Om happy for you Dave !! The rods seem really nice and you seem to really like them . You definitely deserve it Dave. Take care and stay safe my friend !
See what a happy attitude will do for you..... Helps you cat-ch flatheads and not be a flat in the head fisher man!!!From now on no negative attitude for CAT(CH)FISH DAVE!!!! THANK YOU MAD KATS RODS FOR GIVING DAVE THE RODS AS HIS ATTITUDE HAS BEEN LIFTED!!!! SMILE DAVE YOU ARE ON CAMERA!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Your gonna enjoy those rods I have bought 5 from Madz Cat Rods great service and love the rods! My fish are a lot smaller than yours but great action on the rods and great / easy to see at night. Enjoy your videos. Dave tells it like it is and puts the big fish in the boat!! Enjoy the video!!!
straight up is how you treat me, cause at's how i'm a treat you. i've liked you sense the first time I saw the honesty, the fish'n an pick'n is a bonus.
It's probably not as uncommon as it seems, but it looks like the first blue at the 10:16 mark of this video is the exact same fish as the one at 11:18 of Big Fish Season video. Identical dot on dorsal fin, two dots toward the tail, and that marking that looks like it has stitches.
My local dealer said it came down to BCF and MadKatz....the owner of BCF never seemed to be available and was never given a time of when a bulk order could be expected. Well, that's all he needed to hear. Called up Matt Knight down at MadKatz......had a bulk order a few days later. I bought his only White Ghost available at the time back in July and it's my favorite rod. Can't wait for Christmas to treat myself to a couple more MadKatz.
Very happy you were able to get the respect you deserve Dave. If the owner of MK rods is smart he will endorse you and boost his sales, making money for both of you.
I love 💘 it when you catch Flatheads, because that's what we have in Michigan. But, blues will do. Glad I can watch you catch em, when I can't go fishing. Maybe, I'll get out sometime this month? Need to try & break my measly PB.
I was going to say the green and the blue ones came off the video best. Then when it got a little darker, the white bested the blue. Green still looked good. Either way, they all looked like they could handle some pretty big fish. But will they cast a mile? No need for that in a boat. Nice video Dave. People in the industry should support each other. Good to see.
Kennywood's from Anderson Indiana I am just watching your video the green and blue rods look good however I think the green shows up a little better keep them fishing videos coming
Hey, good on Mad Katz. Interested in hearing how they do. I'm thinking the White will kill it and also the Green but we'll see. Happy for you Dave. Keep fishing.
Matt is awesome. I own 15 mad katz rods. I have owned big cat fever, rippin lips, slimecat, shattercat, and a couple other brands. Mad katz for the win.
I've got a gut feeling Dave's going to hook into a really big fish on one of those new rods soon. They're sales will be on the rise, just like the river here.
Celebrity fishermen have been making tons of money off of endorsements for years. Few were/are as good at fishing as Dave. And most if not all are NOT as entertaining as him. Smart vendors would be wise to do whatever it takes to have their products mentioned and endorsed on Catfish Dave UA-cam videos.
Watched a lot of catfish videos , enjoy daves more than all others . We share some of the same attitudes concerning wave makers and idiots on the water. I like gogs more tho 😎 . Keep kastn dave 👍👍👍 , i'll keep watchn
Thank you, Mad Katz Rods!!! That was nice of them!
Let's hear it for Mad Katz! Good job, thanks for helping our man Dave!
Dang imagine a Catfish Dave signature series fishing rods....🤔
Then the Catfish Dave Series, Prednisone Rod. You can beat the living hell out of it and it still won't break. 😉
I'd buy some, for sure.
I'm sure most of his UA-cam followers would buy one , I know I would
I want one
Only if it had Wooooooooo or shut up dog on it.

MADKATZ and Dave the Catfish man, seems like a winning combination too me.

Best rods on the market, I have 4 of them and I'm going to purchase more. Good luck
Good for you Dave. You're my all-time favorite catfish channel
Glad to see you received some recognition from a good rod company. I enjoy the videos and making these videos are not the easiest thing in the world. Thank you for the awesome content.
Damn it Dave. Now i think all of my Big Cat Fever rods have bad juju on them. Thanks
BCF rods don't have bad juju on them. Dave broke that rod with his cringe worthy netting technique. Watch the video. Furthermore, the tip of one of mind warped and BCF replaced it no questions asked.
Dave. Always a great video. Always informative and I enjoy each one. Your a down home kinda guy and a great inspiration
Great video Catfish Dave. Glad Matt sent you those rods. I’ve been using them for a little over a year and they are just about the only rods I use. Love your channel. Keep em coming.

Catfish Dave , I've learned a lot from you, and have been catching the Catfish on a high pressured lake. Thank You, Jim
Good show Dave! Now considering I have 5 new rigs that haven't even seen water I still bookmarked Mad Katz Gear for future reference.

Wrong fella
All I use in Minnesota! Great switch Dave.
C. F. D., TXS for the recommendation of catfish rods. I need a few and I will give the madkat a close look. 🎉🎉

Mad Katz are the best rods on the market! Hands down
Big salute to Mad Katz Rods, Catfish Dave's new weapon of catfishing greatness, whooa, Jeff in LA USA

Great move Mad Katz! Get stocked up on your rods cause your getting ready to sell a bunch of them! Nice vid!!
Hey David I like those mad Katz rod I'm going to check them out you are the cat fish king you show us the tricks we need to catch big catfish
Great rods Dave you will love them. I like that hoddie also
Good looking out MadCat. I’ll be looking up your products
I love 💘 it when you catch Flatheads, because that's what we have in Michigan. But, blues will do. Glad I can watch you catch em, when I can't go fishing. Maybe, I'll get out sometime this month? Need to try & break my measly PB.
Decent channels as well and that's coming from o North Carolinian catfisherman who has lived and catfished in Michigan for 6 years
I was going to say the green and the blue ones came off the video best. Then when it got a little darker, the white bested the blue. Green still looked good. Either way, they all looked like they could handle some pretty big fish. But will they cast a mile? No need for that in a boat. Nice video Dave. People in the industry should support each other. Good to see.
Glad someone really appreciates your videos...
Got to get me a red one and the blue ghost. Thanks Dave. Thanks Mad Katz. My order will be in soon.
Love your videos not a braid guy either, but love my okuma spinning reels
Kennywood's from Anderson Indiana I am just watching your video the green and blue rods look good however I think the green shows up a little better keep them fishing videos coming
those Mad Katz rods are super nice! ..however i couldn't dare afford those but they look great
Mad Catz has a great rod selection
That was a pretty good one, nice fish, nice rods, I'm glad MK hooked you up with good rods, by the way, you might want to tie some floats to your net.
I'm a huge fan of Mad Katz
My son loves the puzzle rod plus the reason for the that one is heart warming.
Great stuff and nice looking rods.
Hey, good on Mad Katz. Interested in hearing how they do. I'm thinking the White will kill it and also the Green but we'll see. Happy for you Dave. Keep fishing.
Nice hoodie and I like the green ghost color!
I love my mad Katz rods I have 4 of them. I haven't caught anything over 35 lbs and had no problems. I hope you like them and reel in a monster.
You didn't say your line at the end. "This was a video there was fish in the video that makes this a fishing video"! Love it
Which video did the rod break? I missed it.
Matt is awesome. I own 15 mad katz rods. I have owned big cat fever, rippin lips, slimecat, shattercat, and a couple other brands. Mad katz for the win.
I have 3 Mad Katz and I love them tbh. Owner also seems to be a great guy
Blue ghost rod looks awesome, sweat shirt looks sweet, think a feller needs one of both
Mad kat rods brought out some phenomenal good juju , makes me want to buy some mad kat rods
I've got a gut feeling Dave's going to hook into a really big fish on one of those new rods soon. They're sales will be on the rise, just like the river here.
Have to check them out, do they make bank length rods? Say 10' or better? Time to see what is for sale to the bank guys, kinda like Dave used to be.
Not to bad Dave for a lake that is devoid of cats. Great video.
Hey catfish dave. Just wondering. What kind of camera you use for you videos..??? I want to buy one
Nice to see you get some recognition Dave. PS: Ms Dana Parker from Reel Time Catfishing is a BIG fan of yours
Celebrity fishermen have been making tons of money off of endorsements for years. Few were/are as good at fishing as Dave. And most if not all are NOT as entertaining as him. Smart vendors would be wise to do whatever it takes to have their products mentioned and endorsed on Catfish Dave UA-cam videos.
Absolutely
A they look very nice. I'd buy one. I'll remember Mad Katz rods.
Watched a lot of catfish videos , enjoy daves more than all others . We share some of the same attitudes concerning wave makers and idiots on the water. I like gogs more tho 😎 . Keep kastn dave 👍👍👍 , i'll keep watchn
