Shimano Catana GX Spinning Telescopic 180cm 3-14g

Experience the ultimate in compact finesse with the Shimano Catana GX Spinning Telescopic 1.80m. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that sometimes the best fishing spots require a bit of a scramble—whether it’s tucked under a low-hanging willow on a tiny stream or squeezed between moored boats on an urban basin. This 1.80m (approx. 6ft) model is the “ultra-light” specialist of the range, offering an incredibly agile setup for the angler who treats every bridge, culvert, and rock pool as a potential hotspot.

Despite its diminutive transport size, this is a serious performance tool. Built on a Full Carbon blank with Shimano’s Diaflash reinforcement, the Catana GX eliminates the “floppy” feel of traditional travel rods. The Diaflash technology in the butt section prevents blank twist, ensuring that even this light-action rod has the structural integrity to cast accurately and control fish in tight quarters. With a 3-14g casting weight, it is perfectly balanced for micro-lures, small jigs, and light spinners.

Fitted with premium Fuji Stainless Steel K-Type guides and a classic cork handle, the 1.80m Catana GX is a high-performance wand that happens to fit in the side pocket of a daypack.
