Catfishing stalwart and CatMaster Tackle consultant Phil has a wealth of catfishing experience. He has fished at many of the country's top catfish waters.

When he's not trying to catch cats, Phil works at Walkers of Trowell where he offers fishing tackle advice on a daily basis.

Like many of today's catfish anglers Phil uses two sets of tackle for UK catting according to the type of water and sizes of catfish expected. These are Phil's personal tackle recommendations:
