This rod is optimized for vertical boat fishing. Its compact 180cm design is ideal for direct overhead presentations from a boat, making it less suitable for bank casting.
X-SOLID TECH uses a spiral carbon design that maximizes strength from multiple directions. This delivers solid-blank power while maintaining the sensitivity needed for detecting bites.
The Fuji DPSM reel seat accommodates conventional and baitcasting reels rated for 240g+ casting weight. Pair with heavy braided or monofilament line (30-50lb) for large catfish.
Yes, the 240g casting weight and progressive action handle various large catfish species. The rod design works for any vertical presentation targeting bottom-dwelling catfish.
The compact length reduces fatigue during long vertical sessions and provides better precision when working specific spots. It excels from boats where limited casting distance is needed.

The Black Cat Freestyle Pro Vertical 180 is engineered for anglers pursuing catfish from boats using vertical fishing methods. Its progressive action and X-SOLID TECH carbon construction balance power with precision feedback, making it ideal for controlling large fish at depth.
The X-SOLID TECH blank uses a spiral solid carbon design with multiple layers built on different axis directions. Each carbon layer supports the others, delivering maximum strength during intense fights while maintaining the sensitivity needed for bite detection. This construction maximizes both power and reliability under sustained load.
The laser-carved EVA handle features a high-grip X-wrap finish for secure control in wet conditions. The flattened rear grip provides added comfort when holding the rod against your forearm during long vertical sessions. An abbreviated handle design reduces leverage interference when manipulating lures directly over productive spots.
The rod features a Fuji DPSM reel seat for secure conventional reel mounting, high-strength stainless steel Seaguide guides for reliability, and includes a protective 420D Oxford Cotton rod bag. All components are selected for durability during intensive catfish fishing.
At 180cm with single-piece construction, this rod excels at vertical presentation from boats over deeper holes. The 240g casting weight handles the heavy lures and baits typical of catfish fishing, while the progressive action provides both power and control when working near structure.
