CTSTK-76XHC-F
Made for the hardcore catters doing battle on the Mississippi and it can handle bumpin’ in fast currents and hookin’ the largest cats – no matter how mad you made ’em. The Cat Stroke has an extra heavy action, custom cushioned grips, forearm-contoured butt, and it’s light enough and sensitive enough to feel the big ones twitch.
Naval aviators call the rush of adrenaline when being thrown down a catapult on an aircraft carrier the “cat stroke”. Just like riding a pair of afterburners, this rod is ready for the intense thrill of going to war with a monster.
If you’re serious about grabbing that trophy cat – then grab the serious Cat Shot rod!

I finally had a chance to use this rod today. After dragging lures through some weeds, it is easy to tell the difference between a light bite VS snagging up on some weeds. I hate setting the hook on salad. Love the rod. It brought in seven decent northern pike today.
This is my 3rd Old18 rod and my first Kinetic. It feels like it's a bit faster and has more backbone than my Ascent 7’ UL. Got it paired with a Curado BFS-XG with PE 0.6Goh and 4# leader. This rod can flick sub 2g up to 5g lures (total weight) without a problem. This is now my go to UL BFS combo!
I’m a size “shmedium” so went with M. After washing it did shrink a bit but it fits great. Inside liner is a little bit warmer and soft which is plus. The sticking and silk screening is of good quality and still holding up. Highly recommend.
Bad service never got my rod
