Shimano Rod Beastmaster AX Catfish Casting Vertical 185cm 200g 1+1pc
The Beastmaster Catfish range has been designed without compromise and covers all the latest catfish methods used by successful anglers. Common to all models is a combination of remarkable strength, powerful fish-playing actions and high-quality fittings to overcome Europe’s largest catfish, even in the most extreme situations.
With so many methods now being used for catfish throughout Europe, the Beastmaster Catfish range has been designed to offer you exactly the right model for your preferred style of fishing. There are rods for static/bank bait fishing on both rivers and still waters, vertical boat rods designed for using with fireball methods, long casting lure rods if you are up for a serious challenge and even a multi-spinning rod. Whichever you choose you can be sure that when you have to really apply the pressure, to get a monster catfish under control, the Beastmaster will live up to its name and give you the confidence to fight with maximum power.
The incredible fish-playing strength of the Beastmaster Catfish rods comes from the advanced carbon blanks that use a combination of High Modulus Full Carbon enhanced with HPC technology, plus Biofibre and Diaflash. The result is an incredibly strong and robust rod that can not only apply massive amounts of power when required, it can cope with the aggressive nature of extreme catfish fishing. All models have a super strong Fuji DPS reel seat that will hold both spinning and overhead reels securely in place under challenging situations and premium super-tough Stainless Steel Seaguide guides. All handles are made from high quality EVA. The Vertical models have a profiled split grip that ensures maximum grip hold, even when wet. The Lure models have a more traditional split grip design whilst the Static/Bank and Multi-Spinning have full EVA handles, with the Static/Bank having additional shrink tube added to the rear for extra durability. All models have a rubber gimbal for fish-playing comfort.
