CASTING I MANEUVERABILITY I SENSITIVITY I POWER I CONTROL I
A high performance rod in which Shimano has put its pride and technologies. Expride is reborn with a new design. The blanks which increase the ratio of high elastic carbon is enforced by “Hi Power X”. We reduced the weight of this rod by over 10% compared to the previous models and kept its durability. Furthermore, its sharpness, sensitivity and response have also been improved. New design reel seat made of CI4+ material is lighter and looks more beautiful with a matt rubber coating. Each model is redesigned specifically for each fishing technique and field. The rod shorter than 7ft is designed for sensitive rod action and the rod longer than 7ft is designed for powerful fighting with big fish.
The elements of Bass Fishing. Bringing new sensation to seasoned anglers. A target of [Bantam] is understanding the essence of bass fishing and developed an Allround quality bass rod. Baitcast series have 3 main categories - Versatile, Jig & Worm and Hardbait & Big bait. There are 9 different SKUs for Baitcast type.
