Perfectly suited for the use of fireballs, clonk teasers and other tackle, these special catfish rods are designed for vertical fishing. The extremely sensitive blank, made of Japanese high-performance carbon, holds the bait precisely in position for Wels catfish to suck it in with no effort. The special design of the tip section allows for continuous action, and reliably conveys even the gentlest take right down to the handle. The fast and powerful backbone, with its special carbon mesh fabric, allows for a powerful lift, and rapidly takes the fight out of the fish when it is being played. The two ‘standard’ models come fitted with robust guides, and can be used optionally with multiplier and fixed spool reels. An Inline version with a multiplier reel seat is available too, which, due to the absence of guides and the line running inside the blank, curves noticeably more effectively under load. And that means even more enjoyment when it comes to playing the fish.
