Catch Pro Series Acid Wrap Jig Xtreme Rod 150-250 gram - 5'4"

When the bite is big and the depths demand real power, the Catch Pro Series Jig Xtreme Acid Wrap Rod is the tool you reach for. Born from rigorous New Zealand testing and tuned for the rigors of serious jigging, this rod delivers raw strength, superb control, and reliable performance when bigger fish are on the line. The acid wrap design isn’t just a look—it’s a practical advantage that keeps the blank steady under heavy load, ensuring you land more fish and protect the rod during brutal pulls.

Key benefits at a glance: twist-resistance under spike loads, improved energy transfer from rod to lure, and enhanced hook exposure during long, controlled retrieves—especially when chasing pelagic trophies or deep-water bottom fish.

Premium build that stands up to saltwater battles

• Premium Japanese Toray carbon blank, wrapped with carbon cloth for added stiffness and durability in demanding conditions.
• Acid Wrap guide configuration engineered to reduce twisting and guide-line tension, helping you maintain line control and protecting the blank during brutal pulls.
• Fuji K-series guides deliver smooth line feed, excellent abrasion resistance, and long-lasting performance in saltwater environments.
• Well-placed hook keeper keeps rigs secure between casts, so you can chase big bites without fumbling.
• Removable butt cap simplifies transport and storage, making it easy to bring on charter boats or travel setups.
• NZ-designed and tested to withstand tough charter conditions, from choppy seas to long days on the water.

Two versatile power ranges for a wide range of jig designs

The Jig Xtreme is offered in two weight ranges to match your target species and lure design: 150-250 g (the model described here) and 200-400 g. Both share the same 5'4" (162 cm) length, optimized for balanced handling with heavy jigs and PE lines in the 3-5 range. This combination is ideal for deliberate, long-bite jigging where stability and sensitivity matter as much as raw lifting power.

Specifications that translate to real on-water results

• Lure weight: 150-250 g (also available in 200-400 g) to match your jig design and target species.
• Line weight: PE3-5 for strong braid setups that still load cleanly into the blank.
• Length: 5'4" (162 cm) designed for precise, controlled jigging with heavy lures.
• Construction: Japanese Toray carbon blank with outer carbon wrap for added stiffness and durability.
• Guides: Fuji K-series for smooth feed, abrasion resistance, and longevity in saltwater battles.
• Special features: Acid Wrap guide configuration, secure hook keeper, removable butt cap.
• Designed and tested in: New Zealand, built to handle real charter conditions and tough offshore days.

Who this rod is for

This rod is purpose-built for serious jig anglers who throw large jigs and chase substantial pelagic or deep-water trophies. It shines on charter boats where durability matters most, but it’s equally at home for private anglers who routinely push jig sizes toward the upper end of the spectrum. If you demand reliable torque control, quick bite detection, and consistent day-after-day performance, the Catch Pro Series Acid Wrap Jig Xtreme will elevate your offshore jigging game.

Why it makes a difference on the water

Traditional jigging setups can struggle under load spikes, leading to line twist, reduced bite sensitivity, and fatigue. The Acid Wrap construction keeps the blank in consistent tension, preserving energy transfer to the lure while maintaining a straight path for the line. The result is quicker bite indication, improved lure presentation, and higher confidence when you’re bending into tough, heavy-jigging sessions—whether you’re chasing kingfish offshore or probing deep reef structures.

Practical notes for optimal use

• Pair with reels designed for heavy jigging and braided lines to maximize the rod’s action and energy transfer.
• Use the hook keeper to streamline rig changes during long days on the water.
• Take advantage of the removable butt cap for easy transport on charters or travel-friendly setups.
