Shimano Fishing Catana Static Bait Tele GT Pole Rod

The new Catana bolo rod is a excellent bolo rod for all-round bolo fishing. The XT40 blank provides good casting and will bend lovely when playing a fish, making it a pleasure to use. XT40 + GEOFIBRE blank provides a moderate-fast action which is excellent for all-round bolo fishing. The rod will bend nicely when a fish is hooked; this absorbs headshakes and runs of a fish, which reduces the chance of losing it. Pac Bay minima 4 guides are ultra light and guiding thin mono line very smooth.

Technology:

- XT CARBON XT Carbon is used throughout the Shimano rod range. The number following the XT (XTI 00), denotes the quality of carbon fibre used. The higher the number, the stronger the carbon. Where different types of carbon are combined to create the required action both numbers will be shown (XT60/40).
- GEOFIBRE GeoFibre is a naturally derived component that provides rigidity and high tensile strength when added to rods in the lower to mid-price rod band.
- PACIFIC BAY GUIDES Shimano use PAC BAY components on salt water and freshwater rods. High quality aluminium reel seats are used on the best Shimano boat rods and lightweight Pac Bay Minima guides are becoming popular on telescopic rods.
- SHIMANO REEL SEAT In addition to using high-end Fuji reel seats, Shimano has designed a number of models in-house. These Shimano engineered models make it possible to use specialised reel seats for different types of rods.
