Golden Catch New Sprinter 902MSpining rod

Overview

The Golden Catch New Sprinter NSS-902M is a 2.70m spinning rod built for anglers who want extra reach from a two-piece lure rod. Constructed around a carbon blank with a tubular tip, it carries a 7–28g casting rating, medium power and a fast action.

As the longer model in the New Sprinter range, it sits alongside the shorter 2.40m NSS-802M, sharing the same casting weight, power and action but offering 30cm more length and 24g more weight.

At 192g, the rod remains manageable for its length, while the two-section build breaks down to a 142cm transport length for easier carrying and storage. These core dimensions are documented in Golden Catch's 2026 catalogue.

Perfect For

The NSS-902M's 7–28g casting range makes it suited to light-to-medium lure fishing, covering metal casting lures, soft plastics fished on jig heads and hard-bodied lures.

Its extra length over the NSS-802M gives shore anglers more reach when working lures along the coast. This is a rod worth considering for coastal spinning and lure fishing for species such as bass and pollack, provided conditions and the rest of the tackle match the rod's 7–28g rating.

It's a light-to-medium lure fishing option rather than a rod intended for beachcasting or heavy bottom fishing.

Technical Insight

The fast action concentrates bend towards the tip section, suiting techniques that call for controlled lure movement and a responsive feel when working jigs and hard-bodied lures. The tubular tip construction works with the carbon blank to deliver this action while keeping the overall weight down to 192g.

A recommended braid rating of PE #0.6–1.2, reported for the exact model by an Estonian retailer, gives an indication of the line class the NSS-902M is designed to pair with for balanced lure presentation.
