Product Description
The Lew's CAT SMASH 7'2" Medium Heavy 1-Piece Spinning Combo is purpose-built for anglers targeting big catfish and other hard-fighting freshwater species. Combining a rugged 5000-size spinning reel with a powerful glass/carbon hybrid rod, the CAT SMASH delivers the strength, durability, and fish-fighting control needed for rivers, reservoirs, and heavy-current environments.
The oversized spinning reel features a durable 3+1 bearing system, an anodized aluminum spool designed for heavy line, and a Zero Reverse® one-way clutch bearing that eliminates handle backplay during powerful hooksets. An impressive 18-pound drag system provides the stopping power required when battling trophy catfish.
The 7'2" one-piece rod utilizes a glass/carbon composite blank that blends sensitivity and brute strength, allowing anglers to detect subtle bites while maintaining the backbone necessary to control large fish. Heavy-duty stainless-steel guides with aluminum oxide inserts, including a reinforced double-footed stripper guide, are built to withstand braided line and heavy catfish rigs.
Premium Winn® Dri-Tac foregrips and an extended EVA rear handle provide exceptional comfort, grip, and leverage during long fights and extended days on the water.
