SHIMANO CATANA ACID TROLLING LITE 20 LB ROD

SHIMANO CATANA ACID TROLLING LITE 20 LB ROD

The Catana Trolling Lite is designed for trolling with live bait and small artificial lures and is available in four powers from 6lb to 20lb. The full carbon blank is extraordinarily powerful, highly sensitive and has an excellent semi-parabolic action to compensate for the use of light lines.
If you have never tried light trolling, you should: it is great fun and can be exceptionally successful for small pelagic species. Unfortunately, not many charter boats cater for this type of fishing, but with a Catana Trolling Lite costing less than a day’s fishing from a boat, there has never been a better option for owning your own specialised fishing rod. And if you have access to a small boat, try trolling for smaller species such as sea bass, bonito and even mackerel.
The Catana Trolling Lite is made from Full Carbon, which is why the blank is so slim, lightweight and responsive. The semi-parabolic action of the lighter models is great fun to use, while the more powerful models have plenty of power for medium-sized pelagic species. Interestingly, the Seaguide stainless steel guides are “spiral mounted” on the blank. This configuration, which is notably different from a traditional guide layout, takes the line from the top of the rod to the bottom guide and then to the underside of the rod through the fighting section. This results in a fantastic, uninterrupted action, especially when fighting unexpected prey. The lightweight aluminium reel seat complements the EVA front grip and ensures maximum comfort and security when fighting larger fish.
