The original Silver Cat rod is made of 100% fiberglass and offers many features found on higher price point catfish rods. The nylon cord grip provides great, non-slip handling even with wet, slimy hands and is durable enough for use in a rod holder. The super-slick ceramic guide inserts are framed equally by high-quality aluminum oxide alloy and will provide smooth line flow for heavy lines. The graphite reel seat will accommodate any sized reel and will keep the reel tight to the rod for maximum sensitivity. The glow-in-the-dark tip will help you see the lightest of bites during night-time fishing.
