About Catch The Fever
Catch The Fever is an American rod maker built around three fisheries: trophy catfish, crappie and striped bass. The catfish side carries the brand's identity, from the entry-level Ravix composite through the Zakk Royce signature edition of the original Big Cat Fever line to the Hellcat Revenge, a 7'6" four-power flagship sold in six colorways with silicone rubber grips and CNC-machined aluminum fittings. The company also produces Slime Line, its high-visibility monofilament for catfishing, and leans on named anglers for its signature programs, with crappie veteran Whitey Outlaw fronting the Precision Scope series.
The crappie range runs deep for a catfish-first brand: Precision Cast casting rods, Precision Jig long rods in three handle configurations, Precision Trolling rods to 16 feet for spider rigging, and the scope-fishing Precision Scope. The Striper Stealth covers striped bass with a 7'6" extra heavy bait caster. Nearly every rod sells in both casting and spinning builds, and prices run from $45 crappie trolling rods to the $209.99 Precision Scope, with the catfish lines between at $69.99 to $149.99. Rods are hand-finished and sold direct and through a US and Canadian dealer network.
What Catch The Fever is known for
Catch The Fever is known as a catfish-rod brand first: the Hellcat Revenge colorway family and the Big Cat Fever line, backed by its Slime Line high-vis monofilament, are staples of the American trophy blue-cat scene, with the Zakk Royce signature edition trading on one of the sport's best-known anglers. The Precision crappie range, including 16-foot trolling rods and the Whitey Outlaw scope series, gives it an equally serious panfish side, and the Striper Stealth family covers the live-bait striper crowd. Bright colorways, aggressive pricing and direct-to-angler marketing are house signatures.
