About Mad Katz Gear
Mad Katz Gear is a United States catfish-rod brand that sells direct to consumers. Its rods are built on what the company calls X-10R glass blanks, finished with a Nano Matrix coating, a nano-particle resin treatment the brand says raises blank strength and impact resistance. The line is aimed at blue, flathead, and channel catfish, from drifting and tightlining to bumping and bank fishing.
The catalog is organized as a value-to-premium ladder of 7'6 one-piece casting and spinning rods plus longer two-piece 8, 10, and 12 foot models. Blue Water sits at the value end, the mid-tier Color Series covers the 7'6 rods sold under many glow color editions, and Legacy is the Nano+ premium tier. Longer Goblin, Orange Crush, and Bolt models extend the line for distance and bank work, while specialist builds include the Dragon Stix bumping rod, the medium-light Got Bait rods, the short 6'6 Shorty, and the Micka Burkhart signature rods.
Most rods are sold in high-visibility glow (the brand's 'IT GLOWS' finishes) and a wide range of color editions that share a common blank within each line. The brand runs its storefront on Wix and prices the rods from roughly $70 to $146.
