SHIMANO BASSTERRA XT + SEA BASS

Shimano

<p>The Shimano Yasei BB AX Pike is a new series of rods dedicated to Pike fishing, available in both spinning and casting models. Specially developed for large pike. Part of the renowned Yasei family of rods and offering exceptional value for money, this range is versatile enough to cast a wide range of baits whilst maintaining the power needed to tackle the biggest pike without being overpowered. As soon as you pick up the Yasei BB AX Pike, you can't help but notice the casting potential offered by the fast action rods. With more power at the bottom, these impressively responsive rods allow you to cover a lot of water, whether you're fishing from the bank or a boat. Pair the spinning models with a Shimano 4000 or 5000 reel for a powerful, balanced combination. Whether you prefer to use baitcasting reels or small overhead reels, casting models offer all the power you need to tackle the challenge of the biggest pike, in the biggest waters. All Yasei BB AX Pike models have a fast-action Full Carbon blank constructed with HPC (High Pressure Carbon) and exclusive Diaflash technology. This increases power at the bottom of the rod and reduces blank twist during casting, resulting in longer, more accurate casts. The inclusion of the Diaflash also improves combat when subjected to extreme pressure, as it helps the rod apply more direct and linear pressure from the butt to the tip. To further increase long distance casting and overall performance, the rod is equipped with the latest generation Fuji Fazlite K-type guides. They are lightweight but also very durable and help prevent any problems at the start of a powerful cast. In keeping with the high quality design, a Fuji reel seat is fitted to the custom designed split grip EVA handle, giving this range a modern and attractive look that matches its brilliant fishing performance.</p>

The new range of Shimano Cardiff AX trout area rods are built using the best and most advanced carbon blends, these exquisite rods deliver sublime performance across the range and take trout area rods to a new dimension of excellence. The Cardiff AX is a rod for serious trout anglers. If you appreciate small intricacies that combine to produce more than the sum of their parts, Cardiff AX is for you. You will certainly appreciate the incredible ultra smooth parabolic action, with its almost elastic type forgiving qualities. And you will be amazed how such a sensitive and light rod can cast your lures with laser-like precision. But it's the feeling you get when a trout catches your bait that is the most defining, as Softube Top technology gives you an almost imperceptible, but very real extra time to set the hook before the pressure alerts even the most wary trout. . The ultralight Cardiff AX blanks are made from a blend of Spiral X and Hi-Power X carbon. These advanced carbon technologies combine to reduce rotational twist when the rod is flexed during casting or while playing fish, resulting in higher precision and a more faithful parabolic combat curve. The addition of Shimano's Softube Top increases sensitivity without adding extra weight, resulting in better balance and a greater overall feeling of lightness. As you'd expect from such a high quality rod, the fittings are top notch, featuring lightweight Fuji Titanium rings and K-type SiC stainless steel, an exclusive Shimano Ci4 + reel seat that complements the desire such as slenderness of the blanks and grips made of best quality cork.

The Expride range of spinning rods expresses high quality and, in terms of technology, ranks directly under the famous Poison Adrena. For its sensitivity and reactivity, it will certainly be a rod appreciated by all enthusiasts. Originally developed as a bass rod, it finds wide fields of applications in European spinning. If you are looking for a top of the line spinning rod, the Expride will be the right choice. Light, medium or even large lures, with Spinning or Baitcasting reels, the Expride range covers everything and with a sensitivity that few rods can match. Each model is also available in two configurations, a 1 + 1 option (one-piece with detachable handle) and 2-piece (sections of equal length). You are really spoiled for choice. The remarkable sensitivity you feel when using the Expride is the result of two unique Shimano technologies. The High Modulus Full Carbon blanks are built using Hi-Power X technology. This reduces the twisting of the blank during the cast and ensures exceptional reactivity during the strike. Important addition is the Carbon Monocoque handle which transfers more information from the blank to the fisherman's hand, allowing for an impeccable perception of everything that is happening to the lure underwater. To further increase the sensitivity and overall performance of the rod, the Expride is fitted with Fuji SiC guides and a lightweight Shimano Ci4 + reel seat to accommodate spinning or baitcasting reels. From an aesthetic point of view, the extraordinary performance is accompanied by a classic glossy black blank and cork front handle which is one of the most attractive combinations seen to date. In use, the Expride will thrill even more. The 1 + 1 models have a one-piece main section with fast action, ensuring unprecedented sensitivity and responsiveness. For a more convenient transport solution there are also the traditional 2 pieces in all models, which once assembled, are almost indistinguishable from the 1 + 1 off-set models. Expride - one of the top of the range, further improved!
