Madcat Black Pellet Rod 2.9m 175–375g — Built for Modern Pellet Fishing

Pellet fishing has evolved beyond the Spanish Ebro and now thrives in rivers across France, Germany, and beyond. This 2.9m rod is designed specifically for modern pellet techniques: shorter, more robust, and equipped with a sensitive tip to detect subtle takes.

Engineered for Contemporary Pellet Tactics

This rod breaks with traditional carp-style pellet rods. At 2.9m it offers the ideal length for boat and bank fishing, while the 175–375g casting weight handles heavy pellet feeders and strong currents. The medium-fast action provides backbone for power casts yet retains tip sensitivity for bite detection. The 24T carbon blank keeps the rod light at 480g despite its extra-heavy power rating.

Non-Slip Grip for All Conditions

The full EVA handle is wrapped with heat-shrink tubing, creating a secure, non-slip surface that performs in wet conditions and cleans effortlessly. Seaguide rings, a Jinke DPS22 reel seat, and a rubber butt cap complete the professional specification. The two-piece design packs down to 155cm for convenient transport.
