Cat Claw 2.0

Dedicated catfish series from Eagle Claw made for channel, blue, and flathead catfish in rivers, reservoirs, and lakes. The Cat Claw 2.0 is built for bottom fishing with live and cut bait, anchored rigs, slip sinker presentations, and santee rigs where moderate-fast action helps detect runs before setting a hook hard through a catfish's tough mouth. The carbon-blended blank material gives a balance of sensitivity for bite detection and backbone for fighting fish that can exceed 30 lbs on the heavy models. Priced as an accessible option for both beginners and anglers who run multiple rod outfits from a bank spread.

Blanks are carbon-composite (carbon blended, not pure graphite), offering durability appropriate for the rough-and-tumble rod-holder and bank-stake applications typical in catfishing. Moderate-fast to fast action across the lineup allows feel for light bites without sacrificing the stiffness needed to drive large hooks. Construction is straightforward without premium component upgrades; the value proposition is durability and species specificity at an accessible price. Four models: 7'6" and 9'6" lengths in both casting and spinning.

The shorter 7'6" models suit bank fishing and smaller-boat applications where length is a constraint; 9'6" gives reach advantage for long-distance bank casts to channels and current seams. The spinning models accommodate anglers who prefer spinning gear for live-bait work with larger arbor and easier heavy-line management; casting models for those running level-wind or baitcast reels with heavier setups.
