CATFISH Series<br />
Spearheading Berkley’s first venture into the high tension world of European<br />
catfish angling is a brand new 11-strong series of rods purpose designed by<br />
many of the continent’s leading cat fishermen.<br />
Built to last with tremendously powerful HR carbon blanks, aluminium reel<br />
seats and double-legged guides, the range starts with three spinning rods<br />
- 7ft (2.1m), 8ft (2.4m) and 9ft 4in (2.82m) - which have respective casting<br />
weight ratings of 60-150, 80-200 and 100-250gr. Of two-piece construction,<br />
they are furnished with rubber cork handles and SiC guides.<br />
Next come two Vertic rods - a heavy duty 7ft 3in (2.2m) Boat model capable<br />
of casting 150-300gr payloads, the other a 6ft 6in Casting version for 50-<br />
150gr weights. There is also a 7ft (2.1m) Interline Boat rod, again rated for<br />
150-300gr casting weights.<br />
Float fanatics will appreciate a specialist 9ft 3in (2.82m) Catfish Float rod, and<br />
the increasingly popular technique of pellet fishing also has its own dedicated<br />
Catfish Pellet rod measuring 11ft (3.3m) with a 5lb test curve to deal with<br />
giant Silure in the 150lb-plus bracket.<br />
Finally, three Premium Catfish Spin rods add a more economical price sector<br />
to the range. These have EVA handles and TS guides and come in 8, 9 and<br />
10ft (2.4, 2.7 and 3m) lengths.
