Anyone have the inside scoop on the newly advertised Abu Pro Rocket Catfish model. What size, color, delivery date, etc. I'm a sucker for anything with the word "Rocket" on it. Oh, I hope it's red, or blue, or green! Rocket power! I can't wait! Doug

So...


I contacted John and its been in the ordering process for 6 weeks now and he does not think they will be in untill Dec:

Some spec's on the reel; 245yds/14# - Clicker? I think he said it does have one. and the price of this baby is only, $124.95:cool2...

I just called him back and tried to place a back order and have it shipped when it came in ,But he said they have a pretty good load of them coming so don't worry,just call me then and place your order. ITS A DONE DEAL..:smile2:

Go to the Catfish Connection website. They have the Catfish Pro Rocket listed, but with no info yet. They also have a "Green Cat" Abu listed. I guess when they get them in the website will have the picture and specs listed. I am also a fan of the Pro Rockets, I love casting my black and gold 6500 and 7000 Rockets. Catfish Connection is also selling the Blue Yonder CT Model which is also suppose too be a great casting reel as long as you can handle a non level wind reel.

I have the 7000 iCS . I love it. I particularly like the lever for the free spool over the button. The reel is super smooth with a great drag system and the power handle rocks.
Bro I could'nt help myself,I ordered mine the same night,and I received this last night in a email from them,

( Your order has been shipped.Ship date: 11-08-2008 ):smile2::cool2:I'll see it Mon-Tue.

I was looking at the 6600EXT before I bought the iCS..Was thinking about it just a little while ago and said what the heck , so I went ahead and ordered it too. Here it is,click on the pic of the 6600 and you will see the wide spool, I'll be set on my reels for awhile, unless I want to make a matching set:smile2:.
