SHIMANO CATANA ACID TROLLING LITE 16 LB ROD

SHIMANO CATANA ACID TROLLING LITE 16 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, 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 offer this type of fishing, but with a Catana Trolling Lite costing less than a day of fishing on a boat, there has never been a better time to own 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. On the lighter models, the semi-parabolic action is great fun to use, while the more powerful models have plenty of power for medium-sized pelagic species. Interestingly, the stainless steel Seaguide rings are "spiral wrapped" on the blank. This setup, quite 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 fantastic, uninterrupted action, especially when fighting unexpected prey. The lightweight aluminium reel seat complements the EVA foregrip and ensures maximum comfort and security when fighting larger fish.
