SHIMANO CATANA ACID TROLLING LITE 12 LB ROD

SHIMANO CATANA ACID TROLLING LITE 12 LB ROD

The Catana Trolling Lite is designed for trolling with live baits and small artificial lures and is available in four power ratings from 6lb to 20lb. The full carbon blank is exceptionally powerful, very 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 give it a go: 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 of fishing from a boat, owning your own specialised fishing rod has never been a better option. 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 heavier models have plenty of power for medium-sized pelagic species. Interestingly, the stainless-steel Seaguide guides are "spiral mounted" on the blank. This setup, significantly different from a traditional guide arrangement, 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 fantastic, uninterrupted action, especially when fighting unexpected prey. The lightweight aluminium reel seat integrates with the EVA foregrip and ensures maximum comfort and security when fighting larger fish.
