Shimano Catana GX Spinning Tele Rod 2.10m 7–21g

The Shimano Catana GX Spinning Tele Rod 2.10m 7–21g combines the convenience of a telescopic design with responsive carbon performance. Built for anglers on the move, it offers a compact storage format and a versatile moderate-fast action for fishing rivers, lakes, canals and urban waterways.

Whether you are stopping at a canal after work or moving between spots along a river, the short collapsed length makes the Catana Tele convenient to carry and store. Its 7–21g casting range accommodates a variety of presentations within that rating, while the moderate-fast action balances casting accuracy, presentation control and forgiving fish-playing characteristics.

Full Carbon blank with Diaflash reinforcement

The lightweight Full Carbon blank delivers crisp feedback and responsive handling. Shimano's Diaflash reinforcement in the butt section helps minimise blank twist under load, improving casting efficiency and maintaining control when playing fish in confined spaces.

Practical components for mobile anglers

Fuji Stainless Steel K-Type guides support smooth line flow with both monofilament and braided mainlines. The ergonomic Shimano VSS-style reel seat holds your reel securely and complements the blank's sensitivity, while the classic cork handle provides a comfortable grip for longer sessions.

From casting near bridges to working along canal walls or covering open water, this compact spinning rod is designed to let you explore without carrying bulky equipment.
