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

Madcat White Close Combat Rod 1.7 m 50–125 g — Feel Every Surge

The White Close Combat 1.7 m is a specialised vertical jigging rod built for maximum sensitivity and direct contact with hard-fighting catfish in tight quarters.

Lighter, More Sensitive Blank for Direct Feedback

The 30TC nano-carbon blank is slimmer and more responsive than previous generations, translating every head shake and surge directly to your hand. At just 190 g, this rod reduces fatigue during long vertical sessions while maintaining the backbone needed to control big fish at close range. The fast action loads quickly on the strike and recovers instantly for the next jigging stroke.

Secure Grip and Rock-Solid Reel Mounting

The split-grip handle features anti-slip X-wrap shrink tube on the fore grip, delivering reliable purchase even with wet hands and easy cleaning after muddy bank sessions. The ergodynamic SeaGuide XSS reel seat uses a dual locking nut system to eliminate any play during hard fights. Lightweight SeaGuide XB guides reduce overall weight while providing smooth line flow and tangle-free performance.
