Commercial Rods Our commercial range of rods have built up something of a cult following over the last few years, and are now used by many of the top UK 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. This year sees the introduction of two new ranges - a completely revamped Beastmaster series and the flagship Speedmaster. Each rod has been refined over countless pre-production samples to produce a finished product perfectly suited to its intended style of fishing.
NEW Feeder Rods – Red Rod Band The Commercial range of feeder rods have built up a loyal following and these three models for 2011 look set to be no different. 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. The 11’ version is Steve Ringer’s rod of choice when it comes to method feeder fishing on small commercial waters. 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 counts. 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 more back bone, which means that it can handle Carp to double figures with ease. 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 larger venues, and is one rod which will help you go the distance. The 12ft Speedmaster comes with a ringless 1ft extension that can be added while fishing to get that extra yardage when 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 tools for the job, and with the Shimano Beastmaster feeder range you’ll have all the bases covered. • BMBX911CFDR - (9ft/11ft feeder) • BMBX116CFDR - (11'6ft feeder) • BMBX126CDFDR - (12'6ft Distance feeder) • SM911CFDR - (9ft/11ft feeder) • SM116CFDR - (11'6ft feeder) • SM1213CFDR - (12ft/13ft Distance feeder) Shimano's Pro Staff Member : Steve Ringer
Pellet Rods – Yellow Rod Band Pellet waggler fishing has become a key tactic in 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. The 11’6 offers a bit more in terms of casting distance, whilst also having power in reserve to cope with those bigger commercial water carp. The fact that the 11’6 is Steve Ringer’s number one choice for waters such as Boddington and Earlswood says a lot about just what this rod is capable of. • BMBX911CP (9'/11' pellet) • SM911CP (9'/11' pellet)
• BMBX116CP (11'6 pellet) • SM116CP (11'6 pellet)
