Madcat Black Heavy Duty 9ft / 2.70m — Tough Catfish Rod Built for Distance Fishing

The Madcat Black Heavy Duty 9ft is a purpose-built catfish spinning rod designed to handle the punishment of long-session river fishing — without the fragile components that can let you down at the worst moment.

Built to Take the Knocks

The SeaGuide® AG guides fitted to this rod deliberately omit the ceramic inlay found on more delicate setups. The logic is simple: a guide with no ceramic insert has nothing to crack, chip, or fall out mid-session. Combined with a 24T carbon blank offering medium-fast action and a heavy power rating, this rod is ready for whatever a large catfish or a demanding river can throw at it.

Grip That Works When It Matters

The full-grip EVA handle is wrapped in shrink tube, making it secure in wet, muddy, or cold hands and straightforward to clean at the end of the day. The Jinke DPS22 reel seat keeps your reel locked firmly in place, and the rubber butt provides a stable resting point when the rod is set in a rest. At 435 g, the 9ft length balances well for both active fishing and static setups.

Choose the Right Variant

All three Black Heavy Duty rods share the same 200–300 g lure rating, 24T carbon blank, SeaGuide AG guides, medium-fast action, and full-grip EVA handle. Choose by the fishing distance and river conditions you fish most often.
