Madcat Green Close Combat Spinning Rod 1.7m 50–125g Fast

Madcat Green Close Combat 1.7m 50–125g — Legendary Vertical Jigging Power

The Madcat Green Close Combat is the compact weapon of choice for serious catfish anglers who fish vertically from boats or belly boats. This legendary rod delivers supreme strength and lightning-fast response in a portable 1.7m package.

Built for Vertical Jigging Precision

Specially engineered for vertical jigging with baitfish, this rod features a super-fast 24T carbon blank that transmits every bottom contact and bite instantly to your hand. The ultra-small Seaguide guides reduce weight and maximize blank performance, giving you the sensitivity to detect subtle takes while maintaining the backbone to drive hooks home on monster catfish. The double-lock Fuji TVS-TJS reel seat ensures rock-solid reel mounting during powerful fights.

Compact Design, Maximum Boat Control

At just 1.7m long and 214g light, this rod excels in tight boat quarters and belly boats where longer rods become cumbersome. The short design gives you precise lure control when fishing vertically, while the shrink tube EVA handle provides secure grip even when wet. Despite its compact dimensions, the fast action blank packs enough power to subdue heavyweight catfish with real authority.
