SHIMANO FISHING Trout Native Spinning Rod 1.83 m

Tip action and progressive blank curve are two key factors for a specialist trout fishing lure rod, so we decided to re-visit the Shimano SPECIAL PROGRESSIVE blanks of the successful Antares rod series and adapt them to the modern trout lure fishing techniques. The blanks are built with the light and sensitive Nano + HPC100 carbon and have moderate-fast and fast action tapers. The metallized forest green blanks are equipped with elegant gunsmoke componentry: anti tangle Fuji Alconite K and KR series combined with the ergonomic new Seaguide XVS reel seat, nestled in a traditional full cork handle with specific lengths for an optimal balance and casting agility. The range includes 9 different models with 5 different lengths and unique features. Speciftications: - Rod type: trout spinning - Grip:cork - Blank material:hpc100 + nano - Reel seat:shimano vss|shimano custom - Packaging:cloth bag - Guide type:fuji stainless steel kr-type - Lengths:1.98m-2.59m - Weight (g):96 - Length (m):198 - Transport length (cm):102 - Number of sections:2 - Number of guides:9 - Casting weight (g):1-8g Technology: - Xt carbon xt carbon is used throughout the shimano rod range. the number following the xt (xti 00), denotes the quality of carbon fibre used. the higher the number, the stronger the carbon. where different types of carbon are combined to create the required action both numbers will be shown (xt60/40). - Hpc high pressure carbon shimano high pressure carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. the result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.
