Shimano
The Shimano STC (Shimano Travel Concept) Spinning series is designed for demanding anglers who require compact gear without compromising on quality and performance. Comprising seven models in 4- and 5-piece configurations, this range delivers fast and progressive actions, with lengths of 2.40 m and 2.70 m and casting weights from 10–30 g to 50–100 g, covering virtually all artificial lure fishing techniques. These rods are built using a combination of high-strength carbon and advanced Nanosheet technology, resulting in a structure that is both highly responsive and extremely durable. The outcome is a rod with precise and powerful action—perfect for long-distance casting, optimal lure control, and confident fish-fighting capability. With a compact transport length (less than 65 cm when collapsed), these rods are ideal for travel by air, on foot, or where space is limited. The section design has been engineered for seamless blank continuity, eliminating stiffness at the joints and delivering a smooth, uninterrupted action curve. All models feature premium components: single-foot Shimano Hardlite guides for better heat dissipation and compatibility with braided lines, a Shimano VSS reel seat for secure grip, and a natural cork handle for comfort and sensitivity during extended use. Each rod comes with a custom-shaped hard case, offering maximum protection during transit. From finesse fishing with soft baits and crankbaits for smaller predators, to working heavy glide and jerkbaits for pike or inshore saltwater species, the STC Spinning range is a versatile and technically advanced solution, ready to tackle any fishing scenario worldwide.
