Shimano Forcemaster AX Catfish Vertica 185 cm 200 g is specifically designed for vertical catfish fishing, such as with worm and "fireball" methods. This rod belongs to Shimano's entry-level Catfish series, yet it offers excellent performance and durability.
The rod's length is 185 cm, and its recommended lure or weight load is approximately 200 g. The rod is 1+1-piece, meaning it has a detachable handle, which makes it easier to transport and store. This model is specifically designed for vertical fishing but is also suitable for other catfish fishing techniques.
The rod blank is made of full carbon, making it extremely strong and durable. This material allows for handling large catfish and withstands the demanding conditions of fishing. The Shimano DPS M reel seat keeps the reel securely in place, and the stainless Seaguide XBG guides ensure durability and functionality.
This rod is designed to provide maximum power and reliability for fishing Europe's largest catfish. It is an excellent choice for anglers looking for a durable and high-performance rod.
