Noodling is a form of hand fishing for catfish that requires a person to stick their hand into a submerged hole, a place where catfish often lie, and wiggle their fingers in hopes that a fish bites onto their hand. This card game captures that theme with rounds of hidden bids that each player can opt to try push luck on their own in a fishing hole or potentially team up with a partner just in case they land a huge one that they need help with! There is always the risk that you find a monster catfish that you are unable to bring in on your own and causes you to lose some of your previous catch. —description from the designer
