Madcat White Belly Cat Spinning Rod 1.8m 60–150g

Madcat White Belly Cat Rod 1.8m 60–150g — Built for Belly Boat Catfishing

The Madcat White Belly Cat Rod was the first catfish rod designed specifically for belly boat fishing, and this next generation model delivers even more sensitivity, reduced weight, and greater power reserves to keep you in control during the fight.

Lighter, More Sensitive, More Powerful

The 30TC nano-carbon blank construction makes this rod noticeably lighter (182 g) and more responsive than earlier generations, transmitting every movement of your catfish while retaining the backbone you need to control hard-running fish from the confined space of a belly boat. The medium-fast action loads progressively during the cast and absorbs sudden surges without compromising hook-setting power.

Engineered for Belly Boat Use

An extra-short handle keeps the rod compact and manageable when space is limited, while a dedicated ring on the butt section allows you to attach a safety coil lanyard so your rod stays secure if it slips from your hands. The foregrip features anti-slip X-wrap shrink tube for enhanced grip even when wet, and the ergonomic SeaGuide PBXSS-DMN reel seat uses a double locking nut system to hold your reel firmly in place. Lightweight SeaGuide XB guides reduce overall weight and handle both braid and mono smoothly.

Choose the Right Variant

This series offers rods tailored to different belly boat catfishing scenarios. Consider your typical casting distances, bait weights, and target fish size when selecting your model:

• 1.8m 60–150g — ideal for close- to medium-range work with heavy baits, dead fish, or large lures; suits confined waters and belly boat anglers who prioritise manoeuvrability and power over distance
