I am talking about the 7 footers that are rated for 40 lb line and 16 0z of lure weight.

Has anyone seen these rods in white and if so where at? I have only seen them in black. I know that doesn't pose a problem if you are using a bait clicker, however, I prefer to use a 3 way rig with a circle hook. That way they hook them selfs as the swim away. At night time, a white rod would be a big advantage.

Jim Moyer designed the E-Cat rod and they discountinued it ... Last time I talked to Jim - He was having the rod made under a different name -- You may try looking up his # on the interner (Jim Moyer Catfish) and give him a call ..

As catfish said, the Ecat was designed by Jim Moyer, it was discontinued several years ago, and cant be found now, or at least I cant find any. His new rod is called THE BOSS, it is the same as the Ecat but a little better in my opinion. It can be found at Catfishconnection.com that is the only place that I have been able to find them. They will range from $62 - $69 and come in black only. Trophycats

I seen two of them a couple months ago at a local bait and tackle shop not to far from the house. If they are now as hard to find as you say they are, prehaps I should go to see if they still have them and snag them up if they are still there. They were black but I can always use refective tape or something.

Thanks

They make glow in the dark paint as wellThats an even better idea!

I drove down to bait shop before they closed this evining to look for the E-Cats that were there. The clerk said they sold them about two weeks ago. Oh well. It looks like its going to be THE BOSS. From what it sounds like, it is a little better rod any ways so I imagine I am better off. Thanks for the information.
