Shimano Zodias Baitcast Rod

Using Shimano's exclusive Hi-Power X Construction graphite blanks, Zodias casting rods deliver incredible distance and accuracy. The lightweight blanks are complemented by custom shaped EVA grips, Fuji Alconite guides - with a Fuji SiC tip to reduce heat buildup at a key point - and a CI 4+ reel seat for an additional weight saving. Hi-Power X blanks are really something else. Their acute sensitivity crisply transmits every tap from a snag, weed, or a cautious short-striking fish, especially when used in conjunction with reels spooled with zero stretch braided line like Power Pro. There are four light to medium spin rods of 6' 8 and 7' lengths, the latter in two piece, and a pair of 6' 6 baitcasters to choose from. So whether it's black bream in the Gippsland Lakes or barramundi in a muddy tropical creek, you'll be impressed with the performance characteristics of the new Zodias series.
