Hi guys I’m new to this I love to fish but in the last 10 years have only fished for rockfish what I’m trying to find out today is I have a pond in my backyard that has gas in it that I know I’m thinking it may have some catfish my birthday is coming up in my wife asked me what I wanted I told her to get me a ugly stick and I’m wondering if the ugly stick I’m getting Is good for pond fishing also if it is not please tell me what I should use for a small pond for fishing bass and catfish on a very meager budget

check the pawn shops and flea markets. Most anything works in a small pond.

has anyone ever tried fishing combo outfits from WISH. Their adds keep popping up on this site. I have bought other things, but seem very flimsy from WISH. This is funny. They had a cat gym advertised for free - just pay shipping. Well, the shipping was only $2.00. So being a bargain hunter, ordered the cat gym. It never showed up, didn't receive it. They did say it was on the way. Guess they lied. Still waiting for it. Ha

Dennis its got to be big fingers. The G is just above the B on the keyboard. Cause if he has gas in the pond, I think no fish would be in there.

My Son owns a house with two small ponds. Any small spinning reel with about 6 Lb. test Mono.
Any tackle shop will match a rod with the reel. I use an Ugly Stick because they are hard to break.
My reel is just a cheap Okuma or something like that. That will work fine in almost any small or big
pond. Unless you are going after really big fish.
