The finest catfishing rods and blanks on the planet are now only available through Team Catfish. The HIGH STANDARD Carbon Rod Co. and Jeff Williams founder of Team Catfish Tackle Company have designed these blanks and rods just for the Team Catfish brand. No other manufacturer in the world has access to these custom carbon blanks. These carbon blanks are built in America by HIGH STANDARD Carbon Rod Company and only sold as a HIGH STANDARD rod or Team Catfish iCat.
Why are these rods better (and more expensive)?
The American manufacturer of these rods and blanks has developed a complicated proprietary carbon fiber wrapping method that’s creates rods that feed like and preform like carbon arrow hunting shafts. This revolutionary new process allows HIGH STANDARD Rod Co. to create the lightest and strongest rod that you have ever had your hands on. Also, these carbon blanks are only assembled with the purest carbon fiber material available anywhere in the world. Pound for pound this ultra premium carbon material is second to none. When you combine the best materials with space age blank building techniques you get the best of the best, we guarantee it.
To start in 2012 we will have 3 iCat models available exclusively through Team Catfish. They are a 7-6 Heavy action casting and spinning and a 7ft MH Casting.
Some of the key features of these HIGH STANDARD Carbon Rods include:
1) The durability of our carbon blanks is unrivaled. HIGH STANDARD blanks are far superior to any graphite or boron rod that we tested against.
2) The sensitivity of the HIGH STANDARD carbon blank is unbelievable. Its superior to any of the top brands of high end graphite blanks we tested against regardless of the price.
3) All models have stainless steel eyes.
4) Casting model has an exposed graphite blank touch reel seat.
5) Super heavy duty stainless hook keepers.
6) Actions designed by professionals for catfishing situations.
6) Extremely durable/no maintenance high density eva foam handles will out last and and out perform cork handles. Cork does not telegraph vibrations nearly as well as the high density eva.
8) Proudly made in America.
9) HIGH STANDARD 3 year bumper to bumper warranty and the lifetime half price replacement warranties are unrivaled in the catfishing world.
10) Stainless hood over graphite reel seat band.
This heavy action iCat model is rated to handle sinkers sizes from 1 to 8 oz’s. The 7-6 H casting model has 8 stainless guides plus the tip. The 7-6 H spinning rod has 7 stainless guides plus the tip.

I’ve compared this rod next to my St Croix’s and it’s lighter, but I didn’t put it on a scale. LOL!
Seriously pictures and words can’t do this rod justice.
For the next two weekends, I’ll be making this rod available for a “try before you buy” test on Pool 4. Contact me via pm for availability.
