Madcat UV Series Vertical Spinning Rod 1.75m 50–150g

Madcat UV Series Vertical — Short, Powerful Catfish Rod Built for Vertical Jigging

The Madcat UV Series Vertical (Ultraviolet Series) is purpose-built for anglers who work their lures directly beneath the boat. At 1.75 m with a fast action and 50–150 g lure rating, it puts you in full control of heavy jigs in deep water.

One-Piece 24T Carbon Blank — Sensitivity Meets Backbone

The monoblock blank in 24T carbon keeps the rod light at 260 g while delivering the stiffness needed to drive hook points home into a catfish's bony mouth. Fast action means the tip loads quickly and recovers without delay, giving you direct feedback on every strike and a responsive bounce when working vertical presentations.

UV-Active Finish — Stay Visible in Low Light

The fluorescent green blank is UV-active: hold a UV headlamp or torch over it and the rod lights up instantly. This makes it easy to track tip movement in pre-dawn sessions or murky conditions, and to monitor subtle take-downs when fishing deep vertical drops where bites can be gentle.

Choose the Right Variant

The UV Series Vertical is currently available in a single configuration tailored to classic vertical catfish tactics:

• Madcat UV Series Vertical 1.75 m 50–150 g — Fast action, 260 g, 1 piece: Best fit for boat fishing directly above structure, using heavy rubber tails, shads, or spoons in the 80–150 g range; ideal for Wels catfish in rivers and deep lake spots where a short, stiff rod gives maximum lure control.
