Shimano Catana GX Telescopic Spinning Rods

The Catana Spinning Telescopic rod series is built for anglers who fish on the move. Combining modern styling, reliable carbon performance and ultra-convenient storage and transport, this versatile range is perfect for various situations like rivers, lakes, and urban waterways. Even perfect for a spontaneous session. With a compact transport length and responsive moderate-fast action, Catana Telescopic rods deliver confidence and control at an exceptionally accessible price.
For anglers who travel light, move frequently and never want to miss an opportunity, the Catana Spinning Telescopic is the ideal companion. Designed with a versatile moderate-fast action to fish a wide range of lure techniques, this compact rod is perfectly suited to canals, rivers, harbours and city environments where mobility is key.

Constructed on a lightweight Full Carbon blank with Diaflash reinforcement and fitted with Fuji Stainless Steel K-Type guides, plus an ergonomic VSS-style reel seat, Catana Telescopic models provide impressive casting performance, sensitivity and fish control. With a classic cork handle and short collapsed length, they are easy to carry in a backpack, store in a vehicle or take on public transport, ensuring you are always ready for your next session at a minute’s notice.

Lure fishing demands adaptability, and the Catana Telescopic range has been developed with exactly that in mind. The Full Carbon blank delivers crisp, responsive performance, while Diaflash technology in the butt section minimises blank twist under load. This improves casting efficiency and maintains reassuring control when playing hard-fighting fish in tight spaces. Despite the telescopic construction, performance remains uncompromised. Fuji Stainless Steel K-Type guides ensure smooth line flow and excellent management with both monofilament and braided mainlines. The Shimano VSS-style reel seat integrates seamlessly with the blank, providing secure reel fixation, enhanced sensitivity and long-session comfort.

All models feature a versatile moderate-fast action, offering the perfect balance of casting accuracy, lure presentation control and forgiving fish-playing characteristics. Whether casting around bridges, working lures along canal walls or covering open water quickly between spots, Catana Telescopic rods adapt effortlessly to the demands of modern lure fishing.
Compact, reliable and ready whenever opportunity strikes, the Catana Spinning Tele gives ambitious and developing anglers the freedom to explore new environments without being weighed down by bulky equipment.
