Designed for Sea Bass, but equally suited to other top water predators, the Strong Assassin has a wide wobbling action. Featuring the Shimano AR-C moving weight technology for increased casting distance and improved accuracy, the 125 (25g) size has recorded casts of 70 metres, enabling this lure to be used when the fish are hanging back from the shore or boat. Using a regular constant retrieve the Strong Assassin FLASH BOOST has a wide rolling action, but an aggressive action can be added by using sharp jerks or a gliding action using long pulls of the rod tip. The floating and sinking versions both work well when paused, letting the FLASH BOOST technology to work its magic. Increased attraction is also added by using Kyorin 3D holographic film which gives a remarkable life-like scale pattern. The sinking version of the Silent Assassin is the lure to turn to when the fish are lower in the water column.

The lightness of the new Shimano Vanquish FC is amazing. Once again, Shimano engineers have surpassed themselves by creating a reel that is remarkably close to the Stella reel in terms of the quantity of technical content. All this comes from the extensive use of Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is enhanced by the addition of the Magnumlite rotor, which also contributes to the incredibly low cranking inertia when winding. This slow startup inertia is especially important when fishing with UL finesse and techniques. You will be able to fish these techniques more accurately than ever before. Shimano has erased the play in every component which further enhances the meticulous precision of the reel. Another big plus is the addition of InfinityDrive. This technology produces a powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, you can still maintain a constant starting pressure, which is very useful when fighting big fish. The addition of the InfinityLoop greatly improves casting distance. This will help you reach that interesting far point, even with a super light set-up. Other advanced technologies, such as InfinityXross, X-Protect and Anti-Twist Fin further contribute to the remarkable technical performance of this reel.

Designed for Sea Bass, but equally suited to other top water predators, the Silent Assassin has a world-wide pedigree, which is set to be enhanced further by the inclusion of Shimano FLASH BOOST. Featuring the Shimano AR-C moving weight technology for increased casting distance and improved accuracy, the 140 (28g) size has recorded casts of 70 metres, enabling this lure to be used when the fish are hanging back from the shore or boat. Using a regular constant retrieve the Silent Assassin FLASH BOOST has a tight rolling action, but an aggressive action can be added by using sharp jerks or a gliding action using long pulls of the rod tip. The floating version also works well when paused and left to float slowly to the surface, before being jerked back down to its working depth. Increased attraction is also added by using Kyorin 3D holographic film which gives a remarkable life-like scale pattern. The sinking version of the Silent Assassin is the lure to turn to when the fish are lower in the water column.

The Shimano Sedona AS was designed for the increasingly popular "Trout Area" technique and offers an excellent combination of specialist design and affordability. The ultra thin, lightweight blanks have a semi-parabolic action to maximize the performance of light, hard baits. If you are among the increasingly numerous fishermen who dedicate themselves to Trout Area fishing, you will certainly want to be armed with the right rods for this highly technical and ultra light style of fishing.

Ultra light in the hand, you'll appreciate the accurate casting performance of the Sedona AS, as well as the semi-parabolic action that brings spoons and smaller lures to life. And when you hook an aggressive trout, the perfect action absorbs the fish's headbutts with ease. The advantages of a Full Carbon blank are clearly perceptible in the Sedona AS range. Ultra thin and light, these rods are a pleasure to use and have just the right amount of flex to maximize distance and casting accuracy, even with the smallest lures weighing just 0.5g.

The Technium AS trout area rods are specifically designed to maximize fishing performance with small hardbaits and spoons. Ultra light and thin, the Technium AS's premium action is semi-parabolic to improve casting and fish retrieval when using light lines and barbless hooks. The Technium AS offers small diameters with excellent performance. Paired with a small Shimano 1000 or 2000 spinning reel, you get a set-up that even the best Trout Area anglers would be happy to use. You can't help but notice how well the Technium AS casts, even when using the smallest spoons, weighing less than 1g. But it is when you hook a trout that the rod shows its true values: it bends gently along its entire length, absorbing escapes and headbutts from the hooked trout. The Technium AS Full Carbon blanks are in line with the latest requirements for Trout Area rods. Lightweight, ultra-thin and with perfect action, the addition of Shimano's exclusive Diaflash technology gives all four models the perfect amount of backbone to accurately cast ultra-light lures and create spoons and micros hardbait.

The Cardiff Chibitoro 25F is the 25mm version of the Fuwatoro 35F. Very effective wobbling in the recovery at very low speeds created by the articulated body and the wide blade. A great lure for top-water trout fishing, especially when they are very listless.

The Cardiff Fuwatoro Top 35F is a floating crankbait designed by Shimano for the trout area. Characterized by a very pronounced wobbling when retrieved at very slow speeds. The design of the joint creates a swim that stimulates predators to attack the bait on the surface with a lot of nastiness. The large blade creates splashes, and increases the capturing power.

The new Shimano Soare BB A has significantly evolved compared to the previous version. Adopting a high-response resistor, you can set more or less aggressive drag settings. "Stick" means, for example, when using Estelle's PE 0.2 and 0.3 fine wires. The high response drag of the new Soare BB A starts flowing smoothly as soon as load is applied, so even when slightly taut, it prevents line breakage when using a fine line. It's easy to respond to sudden thrusts when hooking a large horse mackerel, and you can fight advantageously around obstacles. This performance is amazing in this price range! I thought, but the basic performance of the new Soare BB A has evolved considerably. The C2000SS is 15 grams lighter thanks to a number of technologies installed in high-end models such as Micro Module Gear II and X Protect.

The Shimano Aero is a stunning front drag reel that sits perfectly in the middle of the Aero Match range. Offering versatile performance for float and feeder anglers, it features an anti-reverse function and Shimano's leading gear group. The elegant and understated graphics are perfectly suited to the ranges of Shimano Aero rods. If you are a competitive angler fishing float or feeder and want a high quality reel to give you the edge over your rivals, the Aero is the solution.

With their super smooth waterproof drag and an added anti-reverse feature, you can fish straight off the drag when using stronger lines or reeling in backwards when using thinner lines, or using a combination of both, with the confidence that you have the undeniable Shimano quality at your fingertips. Inside the Aero's understated XT-7 G Free body is Shimano's Hagane Gear and X-Ship system, enhanced by Silent Drive. This combination is renowned for its powerful performance and long lasting reliability, ensuring the reel maintains its peak performance almost indefinitely, even when fishing with large feeders or catching huge weights of match sized carp. Other features that stand out are the AR-C spool made from cold forged aluminum for better casting, plus a handle that screws directly into the main gear for "backlash-free" immediacy. Each model features a line reducer to reduce reel spool capacity making all models perfect for both mono and braided lines and a round metal clip that can be used for accurate casting performance.
