Shimano FX XT Spinning Rod

Description

The Shimano FX XT Spinning Rod is Shimano's entry-level spinning rod, designed for young and inexperienced anglers. It is built on a strong composite blank with a forgiving through action, making it easy to cast and control. The graphics match the FX Spinning reel, so the two work well together as a first-time combo. The rod is suited to a wide range of freshwater situations: lighter models handle smaller fish such as perch and zander, while stronger models can cast larger lures and take on aggressive predators. The tough composite blank withstands the knocks and scrapes of inexperienced handling, and the rod looks the part with a carbon grey blank and gold logo. It comes fitted with Shimano Hardlite guides, which work with both mono and braid main lines, and the easy-to-hold EVA handle includes a reliable DPS reel seat. Backed by one of the world's largest and most respected angling companies, the FX XT is a solid choice for newcomers to the sport.
