CATANA TELE-MATCH The Catana Tele Match reproduces the action of a more traditional 3 piece match rod, but with the added convenience of a short transport length. Built on a slim XT40 carbon blank, the Catana is available in 5 versions, from a traditional 13ft length to an ultra long 17ft version that offers superb float control. Lined guides and an ergonomic Shimano reel seat give the Catana BX Tele Match a classic high quality look that matches its performance.
