SHIMANO FISHING Yasei Dropshot&Light spinning rod 2.10 m

The Yasei Dropshot & Light Jig series are designed with two specific technique in mind: Dropshotting and Light Jigging. Dropshotting requires a soft tip so you are able to play and tease with your lure while having the dropshot weight on the bottom. This technique can be very effective for fishing structures very slowly. Because the lure is weightless, it is very easy for the fish to swallow the whole lure without any effort. Therefore, it also can be very effective when the fish are not biting that aggressive. Because the tip is that soft, it is also perfect to use as a second rod in combination with a small deadbait on a dropshot rig. When the fish will bite, you will instantly see the bite on the tip, but because it is a flexible tip, the fish will not feel resistance and will not spit out the baitfish, giving you plenty of time to set the hook. In addition, it is a perfect rod for fishing light jigs. Because of the soft tip, only this part will bend a little when jigging, making it perfect for playing and jigging. However, when getting a bite, the strong backbone and responsive blank will be highly appreciated because this will ensure you of a good and strong hookset. To ensure easy transport with a dropshot rig, we have added a special dropshot keeper on the rod instead of the conventional hook keeper. In the new Yasei range, we have two different Dropshot and Light Jig rods: a 210ML and a 240M version. The 210ML version is designed for fishing a little lighter dropshot rigs and Light Jigs from the boat as well as from the banks when you don’t need to cast great distances or fishing in heavy current. The 240M version is a little longer and stronger; making sure you can cast further and fish a bit heavier when needed. Perfect for fishing from the banks and in rivers. Speciftications: - Rod type:spinning - Grip:split eva - Blank material:hpc 100 + nano - Reel seat:shimano custom reel seat - Guide type:fuji stainless steel alconite k-type - Lengths:2.10m-2.40m - Weight (g):96 - Length (m):2.10 - Transport length (cm):178 - Number of sections:1+1 - Number of guides:9 - Casting weight (g):3-12 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. - Fuji alconite a strong and durable material, alconite is the latest in a long line of ceramic rings developed by fuji. alconite is so durable that it can be made thinner than any other ring and is strong enough to handle the most demanding fishing styles. - Shimano reel seat in addition to using high-end fuji reel seats, shimano has designed a number of models in-house. these shimano engineered models make it possible to use specialised reel seats for different types of rods. - Nano shimano nano carbon is a technology which is used to build rod blanks which are on average 35% stronger and 15% lighter than a conventional rod blank. the heart of a nano rod blank is made of a nano carbon sheet. this sheet has a special weave which allows to use a low amount of resin which is spread into very small (nano) particles throughout the sheet. this creates the lightness, strength and responsiveness in the blank.
