Shimano STC XR Blue Offshore Spinning Rod

Description

The Shimano STC XR Blue Offshore Spinning rod is a 4-piece travel rod built for saltwater lure anglers targeting large pelagic species. Designed for launching larger lures over long distances, it combines power with portability, packing down to a convenient 65cm transport length. The rod is suited to European and tropical spinning for fish such as tuna, bluefish, and sailfish, whether casting topwater plugs, heavy crankbaits, or metal jigs. Its compact design makes it a practical companion for anglers fishing local waters or travelling abroad in pursuit of bigger game. The blank is constructed from High Modulus Full Carbon enhanced with HPC, Nanosheet, and Diaflash technologies, giving a lightweight feel with balance and strength. It is fitted with Fuji K-Type Alconite guides for smooth line management with both braid and monofilament, while the Fuji reel seat securely holds large spinning reels. A modern split EVA grip offers comfort and stability during prolonged fights. The rod is supplied with a premium STC XR hardcase for safe transport. - Model: STC XR Blue Offshore Spinning - Target: Large pelagic species (tuna, bluefish, sailfish) - Action: Powerful, long-range casting for large lures (60-120g) - Portability: 4-piece, multi-section design - Transport Length: Highly convenient 65cm - Blank: High Modulus Full Carbon enhanced with HPC, Nanosheet, and Diaflash - Guides: Fuji K-Type Alconite (braid and mono compatible) - Reel Seat: Secure Fuji reel seat for large spinning reels - Grip: Modern split EVA grip - Accessory: Includes a premium STC XR hardcase for transport - Product Code: STCXRSPB242H - Length (m): 2.42 - Length (ft): 7'11" - Transport Length (cm): 65 - Sections: 4 - Casting Weight (g): 60-120 - Guides: Fuji K-Type Alconite - Blank Material: High Modulus Full Carbon + HPC + Nanosheet + Diaflash - Reel Seat: Fuji - Grip: Split EVA
