Developed for the serious catfish angler, the Combat Cat rod series is built to withstand the demands of long nights on the water, featuring SeaGuide guides and a solid tip that glows under black light for enhanced visibility and durability. Catfish inhabit rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs across the country, and productive fishing often requires cycling through a wide range of terminal tackle to present bait effectively. Shimano engineered the Combat Cat lineup with versatile actions and rugged componentry to support the full spectrum of catfishing tactics, whether bottom fishing large livebaits around heavy structure or pulling planer boards with rattle floats to cover water efficiently.
