This lightweight catfish rod features a dynamically shaped SeaGuide® XSS reel seat for increased sensitivity. The black EVA handle is covered with a anti-slip sleeve. This gives the handle an extra smooth feel and is also easy to clean. This rod is ideal for vertical jigging from a boat or float tube. Super sensitive, perfectly balanced and powerful enough to set the hook with sufficient force. The extra large EVA Comfort buttcap helps to reduce discomfort when casting.
