Designed by Ian Miller and Shimano, the brief was to provide beach, rock, breakwall and pier anglers with the ultimate casting rod that was equally responsive with a bait or lure. The Aero Wave Graphite series is based on high modulus graphite blanks, with a unique 'CWB' counter-weight system that balances the rod once a reel is fitted. This contributes to a longer, smoother cast, and less fatigue for the user. There are five models across the range and all provide a measure of power not usually associated with such long rods. They have Sea Guide Zirconium guides and Sea Guide cushioned reel seats fashioned with split EVA grips that provide a comfortable hold, and a light and crisp action. The rods all come in three piece configuration to allow for easy storage and transport between fishing sessions.
