Commercial Rods
Speedmaster Commercial offers the best rods possible for modern match carp fishing methods. There are three different styles of rod, each designed with a specific use in mind - Pellet Wagglers, Feeders and Light Float. All make use of our exclusive HPC (High Pressure Carbon) manufacturing process. The result of this is a range of rods that are light, slim and perfectly balanced with an almost elastic fish-playing action. All rods are two piece and can be transported made up in rod sleeves.

LIGHT FLOAT RODS – BLUE ROD BAND for the new age angler, who targets commercial pools and just enjoys catching fish - whether they be Carp, F1’s, skimmers or even Tench. The commercial light range is perfect for them all.
With waggler fishing currently going through a bit of a renaissance in the UK, these two rods fill the gap for anglers looking for the ultimate all-round rod. The Speedmaster Lights fill the gap between the out-and-out pellet waggler rod, and the more conventional standard match rods. And don’t let the Light tag fool you. These two are more than capable of taming big Carp, whilst at the same time their action means that hook pulls while catching F1 Carp and skimmers will soon become a thing of the past. To sum up, these rods cater
Saltwater Spinning Poles
because it features a test curve of 1.75lb, and is specifically designed for fishing the bagging waggler. The second top is a feeder top, and again it carries bags of power with method feeder and big fish in mind. This is the ideal rod for the angler who doesn’t want to compromise in terms of quality but wants one rod that can do it all. The Beastmaster Twin Power truly is that rod.
With Carp getting bigger and bigger in commercial fisheries across the country, no range would be complete without a 12’ power float rod. This rod is ideal for everything from heavy splasher waggler work, to dealing with conventional float work for big Carp in the margins. The clue to what this rod is capable of is in the name. The Power Pellet has bags of strength, so if you have a water with good sized Carp then this is the ideal rod for you. The Twin Power is an extremely versatile rod which, as its name suggests, comes with two top sections. The first is a looks like a standard float top, but this is no ordinary section

Our commercial range of rods have built up something of a cult following over the years, and are now used by many top anglers. They are designed to produce the best possible action, which they achieve by having additional tapered extensions (not parallel softer extensions), and one piece quiver top sections.
The 12’6 Beastmaster commercial distance feeder has been designed specifically for the long range method. This tactic is now becoming the norm on a number of different larger venues, and is one rod which you can certain of helping to go the distance . . . and more. The Speedmaster comes at 12ft with a ringless 1ft extension that can be added while fishing just to get that extra yardage if needed. Team either up with the Ultegra 4500 XTB reel, and put quite simply, you have the ultimate long range feeder set up which allows you to put yards on the anglers around you. Some would call that an unfair advantage, we would say it’s all about using the right rod for the job, and with the Shimano Beastmaster feeder range we feel we have all the bases covered.

FEEDER RODS – RED ROD BAND The Commercial range of feeder rods have built up a loyal following. The range starts off with quite possibly the ultimate commercial angler’s tool - the iconic 9-11. Not only does this rod have the multi length facility, but it also features a one piece top section (2 Supplied with Beastmaster, 3 with Speedmaster), which gives you an unsurpassed playing action once a fish is hooked. Drop the rod down to 9’ and it becomes the ideal tool for those tight swims in summer, and a perfect winter bomb rod in a match where every fish needs to count. The 11’6 feeder has been specifically designed for the angler who wants a little bit more in terms of distance than the 9-11 can offer. The 11’6 also has a bit more in terms of back bone, which means that it can handle Carp to double figures with ease.
PELLET RODS – YELLOW ROD BAND Pellet waggler fishing has become the tactic of the last few years, and we at Shimano have come up with two rods for the job. Firstly the multi length 9-11 which, when assembled at 9’, gives you the perfect rod for those swims where space is tight and the fish are just out of pole range. At 11’, it’s a rod that really can cope with anything that is put in front of it in terms of fish size. The 11’6 offers that little bit more in terms of casting distance, whilst also having a little bit more in the locker in terms of power to cope
