Lanseta wizard cat hercules, 310cm, 300-600g

Wizard Cat Hercules Catfish Rod

As the name suggests, catfish fishing often requires superhuman strength during the fight, which is provided by the Wizard Cat Hercules.

Its most striking feature is the handle and reel seat. Besides providing a perfect grip with its high-density EVA handle, it's immediately noticeable that there is another part beyond the upper grip where we can "grab onto" during the fight.

Due to the magnitude of force exerted, this additional grip plays a crucial role, as during tougher fights, it's necessary to resist the fish with considerable force and try to bring it closer to us as quickly as possible. The reel seat, entirely made of metal, securely holds the reel in place, even during the fight, without loosening or breaking off.

The blank diameter above the upper grip, regardless of length, is 16.4 mm.

It's worth highlighting the guide set on the rod, which is perhaps an understatement to call it robust. There's no circumstance, no catfish that could harm this. Nevertheless, of course, care must be taken with the rod, as the high-density SIC inserts don't tolerate direct impacts. There are 12 guides on both versions, distributing the load perfectly during the fight.

The most critical part of a catfish fishing rod subjected to heavy loads is always at the joints. The Wizard Cat Hercules features a spigot joint, reinforced with a metal ring on the handle section, preventing longitudinal splitting of the blank. A similar ring is also found at the bottom of the tip section.

It has a stiff action throughout, right to the tip, allowing for decisive hook sets.

An interesting feature is the solid metal ring placed on the hook holder eye, making it easier to hook large catfish hooks.

Due to its parameters, it is specifically designed as a weapon for long-distance fishing!
