No. The 1.7 m rod is designed for vertical fishing from a boat or belly boat and has deliberately small guides. The stated 50–125 g casting-weight range does not change that intended use, so choose it for presentations directly beneath you rather than bank casting.
Its main application is vertical baitfish fishing for catfish, with heavy artificial lures and large jig heads also listed by the supplier. The 50–125 g rating and short format suit presenting these baits directly below a boat or belly boat over deep edges, holes and structure.
The transport length is 110 cm with its 1+1-section construction, compared with 1.7 m assembled. Allow for that packed length when choosing storage space. The rod itself weighs 236 g.
The SeaGuide XSS reel seat uses double locking to hold the reel securely under load. This is relevant when applying pressure to catfish directly beneath the boat. The supplier lists baitrunner and multiplier reels as setup options.
Rinse it with fresh water to remove dirt and deposits, then check the guides and reel seat for secure fitting. Store the rod dry and away from direct sunlight so it is ready for the next session.

The Madcat X-Zibit Close Combat is a catfish rod for vertical baitfish fishing from a boat or belly boat. Its short 1.7 m format keeps handling manageable in confined space, while the heavily built 24T carbon blank provides leverage when fighting catfish from depth. It is aimed at anglers familiar with vertical fishing.
The stated casting-weight range is 50–125 g, with baitfish, heavy artificial lures and large jig heads listed as applications. The rod is designed for presenting the bait directly below the boat, including over deep current edges, holes and structure. Despite the casting-weight specification, it is not designed for casting. Choose it for vertical presentations rather than bank casting.
Small guides keep guide weight down because casting is not the intended use. The double-locking SeaGuide XSS reel seat secures the reel under load, and a Double-Stone tip guide completes the guide setup. The supplier lists baitrunner and multiplier reels as options for catfish fishing.
The rod weighs 236 g and has a 1+1-section construction with a transport length of 110 cm. This gives you a shorter packed length than the assembled rod when planning storage or travel. After fishing, rinse with fresh water, check the guides and reel seat for secure fitting, and store dry away from direct sunlight.
