BLACK CLOSE COMBAT 180 6FT/1.80M 50-125G
incl. VAT, excl.
The Madcat Black Close Combat 180 combines exceptional sensitivity with raw power for vertical jigging from boat or belly boat. This upgraded 1.8 m rod features an ergonomic SeaGuide XSS reel seat, lightweight 24T carbon blank, and shrink-tube-covered handle for superior grip and control when targeting trophy catfish.
The ergonomically shaped SeaGuide XSS reel seat delivers direct blank contact and enhanced bite detection. At just 205 g, the 24T carbon construction keeps the rod perfectly balanced in your hand during extended vertical sessions, letting you feel every tap and movement below the boat. The fast action blank responds instantly to subtle takes while maintaining the backbone needed for aggressive hooksets.
The full EVA grip is covered with non-slip shrink tube that stays comfortable in wet conditions and cleans easily after hard fights. The oversized EVA Comfort butt cap distributes pressure during long battles with powerful catfish, reducing fatigue when you're locked into a trophy specimen. Seven Seaguide guides provide smooth line flow and durability for heavy braided lines and hard pulls.
