Mikado Cat Territory is a range of powerful front drag fishing reels designed specifically for demanding catfish fishing. Their heavy-duty construction is built to withstand the considerable loads encountered when playing large, powerful fish and working with heavy fishing rigs. Oversized gearing, a thickened main shaft and a robust internal mechanism provide the strength required for challenging fishing conditions. Cat Territory reels are a practical choice for anglers targeting catfish from the bank on large rivers and reservoirs.
One of the key features of the Mikado Cat Territory range is its reinforced gearing with a 4.8:1 gear ratio. The relatively low gear ratio is well suited to handling heavy loads and retrieving substantial catfish rigs. The reels incorporate 6 bearings in a 5+1 configuration, including shielded stainless steel bearings that contribute to smooth operation and long-term durability. The thickened main shaft provides additional strength under pressure, while the balanced rotor helps maintain stable operation during line retrieval.
The range includes two models: 6006 FD and 7006 FD. The 6006 FD weighs 538 g and features a maximum drag force of 17 kg, retrieving 78 cm of line per handle turn. Its spool holds 300 m of 0.30 mm line or 170 m of 0.40 mm line. The larger 7006 FD weighs 573 g and offers a maximum drag force of 19 kg, with a line retrieve of 87 cm per handle turn. Its spool capacity is 410 m of 0.30 mm line or 230 m of 0.40 mm line. Both models feature aluminium spools and powerful front drag systems designed to provide controlled line release when playing large fish.
Mikado Cat Territory fishing reels are particularly suitable for heavy-duty catfish setups where strong gearing, generous spool capacity and reliable drag adjustment are essential. The 6006 FD is a practical option for anglers looking for a slightly smaller reel, while the 7006 FD provides greater line capacity and higher maximum drag force. When choosing between the two models, it is worth considering the diameter of the monofilament or braided line, the size of the fishing venue and the method used to present the bait. The Cat Territory range combines robust construction with specifications suited to demanding catfish fishing sessions.
