Black Cat Battle Cat Elite Bank LE Catfish Rods

Black Cat Battle Cat Elite Bank LE is a limited range of powerful catfish rods developed for static fishing from the bank. The series includes 2.80 m / 9'2" 180–300 g, 3.00 m / 9'10" up to 600 g and 3.20 m / 10'6" 200–400 g models, allowing anglers to choose between a more versatile setup and extremely heavy-duty catfish fishing.

Limited Edition series. Each Battle Cat Elite Bank LE model was produced in a limited run of only 100 rods. Individual rods are numbered and signed by Stefan Seuß, giving the series a distinctive collector's character alongside its serious fishing performance.

1+1 construction. Instead of a conventional two-piece blank, the rod uses a long working section combined with a separate short handle section. This reduces the number of joints in the working part of the blank and helps maintain a smooth power curve under heavy load.

24T and 30T Carbon blank. The combination of two carbon grades provides a fast action, substantial power reserves and controlled performance under load. The blank transfers power effectively during the strike while retaining the strength needed to control a large catfish during the fight.

Designed for bank fishing. Battle Cat Elite Bank LE is built for traditional static catfish techniques. It is suitable for heavy bottom rigs, buoy presentations, breakaway-style rigs and situations where the bait is positioned at considerable distance from the bank.

Three power options. The 2.80 m / 9'2" 180–300 g model is the most versatile choice for general bank fishing. The 3.20 m / 10'6" 200–400 g version provides extra reach and better line control at distance, while the 3.00 m / 9'10" model rated up to 600 g is designed for the heaviest rigs and most demanding conditions.

Fuji components. The rods are fitted with Fuji DPS reel seats and strong Fuji GM SIN guides designed to handle powerful braided lines and the heavy loads encountered during serious catfish fishing.

Cork and EVA handle. The lower handle section is finished with cork, while the EVA foregrip with X-Wrap surface provides a secure hold during powerful strikes and demanding fights. Each rod is also supplied with a durable 600D Oxford fabric rod bag.

Who are they for? Battle Cat Elite Bank LE rods are aimed at experienced catfish anglers looking for a powerful bank rod with premium components and substantial strength reserves. The range is particularly well suited to heavy fishing on large rivers and extensive stillwaters.
