The power of this rod cannot be overestimated. It features strength, comfort and reliability. This IM8 carbon rod is wrapped in Kevlar fibers for added power. The shaft is equipped with super strong SIC guides. We recommend the Power Cat to anglers who are not afraid to fight off the fearsome power of monster catfish on the River Poe or in the River Danube. The action of the rod enables you to use it for surface fishing or clonking. A solid hook set is guaranteed thanks to the tight tip of the rod. The duplon handle helps you with playing the fish without causing any damage to the rod. The Power Cat is equipped with an absolutely reliable reel seat that holds large sized reels strongly. We would recommend this rod to anyone; however, only advanced anglers can achieve its full potential.
