When it comes to targeting powerful catfish in challenging conditions, Okuma Cat Slayer Combos deliver a dependable, high-performance setup that’s built to handle the demands of serious anglers. Available in both spinning and baitfeeder models, these combos are purpose-built for strength, control, and versatility—whether you’re casting from the shore or battling heavy hitters from a boat.
Designed with the needs of night anglers in mind, Cat Slayer rods feature UV-activated paint and guide wrappings that make the tips highly visible under black light or moonlight, improving strike detection when visibility is low. At the heart of each combo is a rugged fiberglass rod blank reinforced with Okuma’s Ultimate Flex Reinforced tip technology for added lifting power and responsiveness. Durable double-foot stainless steel guides and tapered EVA handles round out a rod designed for long sessions and big fish.
The reel component of each combo is built around a smooth 2+1 bearing system with a precision machine-cut brass pinion gear, machined aluminum spool, and a rigid metal handle for maximum cranking power. Cat Slayer Baitfeeder models also include Okuma’s reliable auto-trip Baitfeeder system, ideal for live bait presentations and controlled hooksets. Whether you’re fishing under the sun or the stars, Cat Slayer Combos offer the toughness, comfort, and visibility that catfish anglers demand.
Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a "right-to-know" law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
Why do you see the warning on our packaging and website?
The warning is part of our ongoing effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65").
