The G.CAT XTREME series is Dragon’s first complete range of catfish rods designed specifically for fishing with artificial lures, combining exceptional power with low weight, excellent balance and high lure sensitivity.
Developed together with Dragon team anglers specialising in catfish fishing, the range includes rods for spinning, vertical fishing and trolling. The vertical and trolling models are available with two different guide and reel-seat configurations, allowing the rod setup to be matched to the chosen fishing technique.
G.CAT XTREME blanks are manufactured using Super Tight Wind® (S.T.W.) technology. A fully computer-controlled production process enables extremely precise and tight winding of graphite mats without the need for sanding. This allows numerous thin layers to be applied over a very slim mandrel, creating thick-walled blanks engineered to withstand the heavy loads associated with catfish fishing.
The rods are fitted with SeaGuide components, including heavy-duty SiC guides with SS316L Marine Grade stainless-steel frames and XZS TU reel seats featuring an innovative reel-locking mechanism. The butt sections use non-slip 3K Woven Carbon, while the reel seat features a distinctive carbon-pattern finish.
Dragon Fishing Gear offers a complete range of rods, reels, braids, soft baits and accessories designed for anglers who expect long-lasting performance and reliability. The brand is backed by Team Dragon – experienced fishermen testing equipment in the most demanding fisheries around the world.
Dragon develops its products using the Quality Optimization System (QOS), a closed technological chain ensuring strict control at every stage of production. From the initial concept to final assembly, each component is selected to deliver maximum durability, precision and comfort during use.
A key part of the system is the use of premium materials and optimized designs, especially in high-stress components such as reel bearings. Dragon reels rely on top-grade bearings manufactured in Japan, Taiwan and Germany, ensuring smooth operation, extended lifespan and failure-free performance even under heavy loads.
Thanks to this approach, both advanced and entry-level Dragon products maintain high standards and deliver exceptional value. Anglers can expect dependable operation, consistent quality and equipment built to withstand seasons of intensive fishing.
