SHIMANO S.T.C. MONSTER SPINNING

Shimano

<p>The Yasei BB AX Swimbait/Big-bait from Shimano is an extraordinarily responsive casting rod and almost automatically maximizes the balance and swimming action of large baits with a minimum of input. However, the rod has a powerful back to counter powerful and large freshwater predators. Best paired with a size 300 baitcasting reel or small overhead spinning reel, for a powerful combination that will tackle any challenge with ease. The secret to the action of the Yasei BB AX Swimbait/Big Bait is the Full Carbon blank built with HPC (High Pressure Carbon) and the exclusive Diaflash technology. This increases power at the bottom of the rod and reduces blank twist during casting, increasing casting distance. Furthermore, it produces a truly powerful fighting action, capable of subduing even the largest predators with ease. To further increase performance and overall action, the Yasei BB AX Swimbait/Big Bait is equipped with Fuji Fazlite Type K 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>

<p><strong>Shimano 25 Grappler Type C &ndash; The evolution of offshore spinning. </strong>Built to meet the toughest demands of saltwater game fishing, the <strong>Shimano 25 Grappler Type C</strong>&nbsp;is a high-performance offshore spinning rod engineered for long-range casting, lure action control, and heavy-duty fish fighting.

A sturdy <strong>Fuji DPS reel seat</strong> ensures a firm connection with a wide range of reel sizes, while the <strong>shaped EVA grip</strong> offers comfort and control during extended battles.&nbsp;The Grappler Type C is the go-to choice for anglers seeking a balanced, powerful, and highly responsive spinning rod tailored for serious offshore challenges.</p>

<p>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. To reinforce the quality of the design, Technium AS uses Fuji KR type guides with Fazlite coatings, which work particularly well with ultra-thin braided lines. The ergonomic Shimano IPS reel seat was chosen to ensure comfort and sensitivity and the split grip cork handle completes the modern and classic look. Available in four different models: two lengths and two powers, to best meet your needs.</p>
