Exceler Catfish SpinCatfish spinning rod | CW -135g | -185g



The lightweight and well-balanced Exceler Catfish spinning rods from DAIWA are the right choice for almost every lure that is appropriate for catching catfish!
The power backbone enables the angler to control large catfish also in difficult situations and to force the fight uncompromisingly. The spigot joint is reinforced with metal rings, leading to a harmonic bending curve and a durable connection of both rod parts. The distinct tip action combined with the strong backbone allow the use of smaller lures for targeting underwater vegetation and fishing in shallow water areas but also are fully appropriate for fishing with heavy soft plastic lures in strong current and great depth. Controlled and accurate casts are possible every time!

HMC+ CARBON FIBER | Blank Material
Rod blanks made of "High Modulus Carbon +" are made of high module carbon fibers with elevated density. As a consequence, HMC+ blanks contain only a reduced resin amount compared to conventional Pre Preg carbon fibers. HMC+ therefore represents a quality level prior to the exclusive HVF carbon fibers. Rods made of this exquisite carbon fiber material are faster, more lightweight and better balanced than rods made of standard materials with high resin amount or composite blanks mixed of carbon and glass fiber.
