Catfish rods

WONDER WEAPONS FOR CATFISH HUNTERS.

TOP CAT SPIN

These super dynamic lightweight rods are ideally suited for successfully chasing catfish with a whole range of lures, including wobblers, blinkers and soft baits. Thanks to the excellent loading and recovery characteristics of the robust Japanese high-performance carbon blank, long, precise casts become child’s play. The handle section has been reinforced with a special carbon mesh fabric, giving the angler plenty of power to play really exceptional fish and keep control at all times. Also featured are top-quality SIC K-style long-cast guides in an anti-tangle configuration, which guarantee a flawless run of the line during casting. A top choice for chasing catfish! Available in lengths from 8,6ft. to 9ft. and casts from 60 to 210g.

TOP CAT VERTICAL

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. Simply the BEST! Available in lengths from 6ft. to 6,2ft. and casts from 90 to 300g.

TOP CAT BOAT

Any angler who likes fishing for catfish from a boat will love this rod. The sensitive action of the tip section does all the work when it comes to bait presentation and bite recognition. Regardless of whether you prefer to drift to where the action is or anchor on a hot spot, with the TOP Cat Boat the right tool is always in your hands. To bring the fish under control as fast as possible after the strike, the rod has an extremely strong backbone with progressive strength distribution, reinforced by a unique carbon mesh fabric. No specimen fish is going to get away from this rod in a hurry! And thanks to the special boat guides, both multiplier and fixed spool reels can be used. Putting it simply, this is how to handle catfish! Available in length 8ft. and 9ft. and casts from 130 to 300g.

TOP CAT BOJE

This specialist catfish rod series is made of Japanese high-performance carbon for buoy and stationary fishing in still and flowing water. Thanks to the special action and guide arrangement, the line can be held under tension out of the water with exactly the result intended. When a bite comes, there is direct contact with the fish, and that means a perfect strike. Even in water where obstacles are a real problem, there are no compromises with the TOP Cat Boje. Thanks to massive reinforcement using a special carbon mesh fabric, the backbone builds up enormous pressure very rapidly and stops the catfish being able to settle. The rod can be fitted optionally with multiplier reels or fixed spool reels. Anyone fishing with this tackle really will get a grip on any catfish. Available in length 9ft. and 10ft. and casts from 200 to 500g.

POWERFUL RODS FOR CATFISH HUNTER:

CATFIRE SPIN

Excellent rods for fishing for catfish with wobblers, soft lures, blinkers etc. The tough, fast blank delivers the bait, right on target, even at long distances. The strong spine means any catfish on the hook tires rapidly and can be landed safe and sure. Available in length 8ft. and 9ft. and casts from 70 to 190g.

CATFIRE BOAT

Designed for drift fishing from a boat. The Catfire Boat is fitted with a tip that is sensitive yet strong, ideal for achieving perfect bait presentation under the water. For a sure strike, and ultimate control of the catfish when playing, the spine has been reinforced with a 3K carbon-mesh fabric. Improved damping properties of the blank keep lost fish to an absolute minimum. These are rods that make fishing for catfish fun; and, of course, they also produce excellent results when used from the bank. Available in length 9,2ft. and 10ft. and casts from 150 to 300g..

CATFIRE BOJE

Special rods for buoy fishing in rivers and lakes. Their length (up to 3.3m) and stiff action helps keep tension on the line, even over considerable distances. This means rapid and direct contact with the fish right from the bite. The sensitive tip of the rod reliably signals the bite back to the bank, while the powerful spine ensures that the hook stays properly in place after the strike, and the fish can be brought to the bank or the boat as fast as possible. The 2.7m version is perfect for use from a boat at anchor. Available in lengths from 9ft- to 11ft. and casts from 250 to 500g.

CATFIRE FEEDER

The latest update of the popular catfish feeder rod, the Catfire Feeder was designed for bottom fishing with natural bait and pellets in partnership with our catfish specialist, Jens Köller. To achieve extra speed, and get better casting distances, the spines of the rods have been reinforced with a 3K carbon-mesh fabric. We have also done a little work on the interchangeable tips. There is now a medium-heavy tip part for use in stillwater, and a heavy tip part for use in rivers and currents. These are excellent all-rounders for difficult bottom fishing for catfish and similar. Available in length 11ft. and 12ft. and cast of 200g.

CATFIRE VERTICAL

A rod designed especially for vertical fishing for catfish from a boat. The agile blank has enormous reserves of power to tire the fish rapidly when playing, and bring it securely to the surface. A highly sensitive tip reliably signals even tentative nibbles and allows the catfish to take the bait without any resistance. The lightweight blank means the rod can be held comfortably in the hand without any problems, even over long periods. Available in length 6ft. and 6,5ft. and casts from 90 to 300g.

CATFIRE VERTICAL HEAVY INLINER

This more powerful version of the Catfire Vertical has no guides. The advantage of inline rods is that, because there are no guides and the line runs through the interior, the blank bends noticeably more uniformly under loading, which means more fun when playing the fish. There is also reduced risk under full loading of a guide frame getting pressed into the blank and causing the rod to break. The action of the rod is similar to that of the Catfire Vertical, but the Heavy Inliner has an appreciably stronger spine. This is the perfect rod for when the hunt is on for big cats. Available in length 6ft. and casts from 150 to 450g.

CATFIRE TRANSFORM

A multi-purpose rod built to thrill modern catfish hunters. Thanks to its special design, it can be used as a two-piece 2.7m boat rod for effective use in open water or as a three-piece at its maximum length of 3.2m for successful bank fishing. Nothing is more practical or more flexible. Put it another way: superbly simple and simply superb! Available in length 10,6ft and casts from 150 to 300g.
