Daiwa is a Japanese brand that has been producing rods and reels since 1955. Daiwa aims to produce the most technically advanced fishing equipment in the world which is routinely met as Daiwa is a world leader in coarse, carp, sea, and Predator fishing products.
Predator angling is all about the sport, and catfish give better sport than most – but you need the right rod to fish them effectively. Designed to meet the specific challenges that catfish present to the dedicated predator angler, the Daiwa Whisker Catfish brings you all the Daiwa quality you’d expect, with the specific tailoring that sets the Whisker range apart.
This Daiwa Whisker Catfish Rod is the perfect predator accessory if you want to go big and catch a new PB. In order to succeed and fishing with confidence, you need a catfish rod that will withhold the fight that some monster fish give. Catfish are big, striking predators, and they put up a hard fight when they’re hooked. Selecting good quality catfish rods is difficult but it is important that you choose one that can stand up not just to a strong, solid take, but also to the fight that almost inevitably follows it.
The Whisker Catfish Rod sports reinforced MSG blanks to ensure your rod holds up to a catfish event, and Fuji guides and reel seat to allow you to feel and follow the underwater action right through your rod, along with a reinforced Fuji butt cap which sustains that responsive strength right to the end of the rod, and Duplon front and rear grips.
It is available in two lengths, 8ft 6”, which has a casting weight of 15oz and a 6lb test curve, and 9ft 2”, which casts to 12oz, with a 5lb test curve. A quick tip from our crew is that when you are fighting catfish, shorter rods offer more control and power! A short catfish rod gives you the best chance of bringing a bite to the bank.
The balance between sensitivity and rigid performance on this catfish rod makes it a stand-out piece of predator tackle and gives you a fishing experience you never thought possible, where you can feel every second of heavy, aggressive action through a rod that will stand up to it all.
So for a Catfish Rod that stands out in performance, look no further than the Whisker rod from Daiwa.
