Description: The aim is to create a shore casting rod that transcends the limits of the past by combining Shimano's advanced technology and know-how at a high level. Thorough pursuit of release from line trouble that was a chronic dissatisfaction of anglers. Adopted NEW [X guide] that overturns conventional wisdom, completed by thoroughly analyzing the correlation between reel size and line system. The original frame shape realizes performance that suppresses the root cause of line troubles caused by interference with blank touches and guide frames. The blank structure, which is the essence, adopts a "spiral X core" that brings high strength in all directions such as bending, twisting, and crushing. And the repulsive force that has been thoroughly enhanced exerts a powerful power as it bends, enabling sharp and light casting. In addition, the balance has been carefully researched so that the entire blank, including the grip, can bend smoothly, making it easier to cast at the right timing and reducing the impact and stress on the body during power fights. In addition, it is equipped with an original rubber grip end to support casting and fighting stability. When you experience these true values, a new stage of the shore casting game will open up. S98XH/JS For those who want to stick to the operation of metal jigs. The short rod length is directly connected to the angler's burden reduction in the jig operation that requires the hardest work in rock shore. However, on the other hand, when fighting from near the bottom near the danger zone to the shore, a longer rod length is advantageous for reliably lifting large blue-runners. The blanks are designed for the longest length that can be advantageous in fighting while reducing the burden of jig operation with jig rods that have contradictions that never match. The optimal solution of 9 feet 8 inches was derived. The tip has just the right amount of tension to manipulate the metal jig as you wish. And, with its strong blanks power and length, it decides the game at once from the danger zone. Regardless of the location, such as nearby areas or remote islands, there are many situations where only a 120-150g metal jig can be used to approach fish. often come across situations where they can comfortably fish. A jig is necessary wherever you go, and the usage area of this rod is inevitably wide, and it will be a rod that you can always bring to the rocky shore from nearby rocky shores to remote islands such as the men's and women's archipelago. Challenging a large blue object with a metal jig on the shore is a very difficult game. Here is the rod for challenging the high wall of catching over 20kg blue-runners from the rocky shore with a metal jig.

Shimano's unique design and manufacturing method thoroughly pursues even higher strength in all directions, such as bending, twisting, and crushing. Carbon tape using high-strength resin realized by Nanoalloy® technology is used for Shimano's unique basic structure Spiral X, which enhances rod performance from the ground up. We have achieved even higher strength with carefully selected materials. Achieved 1.4 times the torsion strength and 2.5 times the crushing strength compared to general structures (compared to our company). Furthermore, compared with Spiral X, we achieved 10% increase in torsion strength and 15% increase in crushing strength (compared to our company).* Nanoalloy® is a registered trademark of Toray Industries, Inc. X-guide - Shimano original guide [X guide] that brings out the original rod performance. Born from the rod maker's point of view, the X guide was born to fully bring out the potential of blanks. Shimano's original high-performance guide that combines lightness, trouble-free casting performance at a high level. High power X A reinforced structure that further suppresses twisting that occurs during casting and fighting. The feature is that the carbon tape is tightened in an X shape from the outermost layer of the spiral X or the carbon sheet vertical and horizontal crossing structure. As a result, the bending of the rod maintains the direction intended by the angler, and the original performance of the blanks is fully demonstrated. Nano pitch A method of wrapping the molding tape used in the process of baking the blanks with an extremely fine pitch. Blanks can be tightened with more uniform pressure, which greatly contributes to high strength. Its fine pitch draws a high-quality exterior design. Screw lock joint Specially processed splicing specifications that increase the fixing force of the splicing part and make it easy to remove. If you twist the rod when connecting it, it tightens like a screw, increasing the fixing force and making it difficult for the joint to come off. When removing it, you can easily release the fixation by twisting it in the opposite direction. (Adopted for salt rod) X guide: Touch-free titanium - Specially designed guide for trouble-free performance The material of the main line is a recent rock shore game where the use of PE line has become mainstream. In order to improve trouble-free performance at this time, we reviewed the diameter of the guide and the height of the frame from scratch. By making the guide small diameter, the PE line converges immediately after it is released from the reel, suppressing fluttering. In addition, the height of the frame makes it difficult to touch the fluttering PE line blank, and it is designed to suppress fluff. Extreme power control grip - Unique shape to prevent power loss The grip end part was designed with a unique shape for optimum ease of use on rock shores. It is designed to make it easier to apply force to the pull when casting, and to make it easier to fight at the waist when fighting. Not only does it prevent power loss, but it also increases the operability of the rod. It is also assumed that the material is made of rubber and the rod butt is applied to the ground to fight. It also has the effect of reducing the risk of the rod butt being shaved compared to EVA material. Jerking assist rear grip - Discerning shape that enhances the operability of the plug Designed to increase the operability of the plug by making both sides of the rear grip flat. It is designed to increase stability when held under the armpit and make plug operation more comfortable. Since it is easier to move up, down, left and right, it is designed to increase stability when interacting with fish. V-hold front grip - Easy-to-grip grip that enables power fights It is possible to lift up the fish by holding the front grip firmly when interacting with big fish. This function also contributes to the operation of plugs and jigs. Long nut - Compatible with a wide range of reel sizes By adopting a long nut, it is also compatible with large reels. As a guideline, it is designed to fit Shimano reel size 6000 to 140000. Screw lock joint - Special structure that is easy to connect and remove It is a mechanism that increases the fixing force of the joint by twisting it like a screw. It prevents troubles such as the rod coming out unexpectedly in rock shore fishing where a high load is applied.
