Shimano STC XR Spinning Monster Rod

Description

The Shimano STC XR Spinning Monster Rod is a 5-piece travel rod built for anglers targeting large predators in fresh and saltwater. Its compact design packs down to a closed length of 59cm, making it easy to transport in standard luggage without sacrificing fish-fighting performance. The moderate-fast action balances casting distance, lure control, and backbone for managing powerful runs, suiting large pike, musky, deep-water sea bass, and mid-sized tropical species. The blank uses High Modulus Full Carbon with HPC (High Pressure Carbon) Technology, Nanosheet, and Diaflash construction for strength and torque resistance. Fuji stainless steel K-Type Alconite guides reduce line friction and help prevent wind knots with braid or monofilament. The split-grip EVA handle includes a Fuji DPS reel seat that anchors large spinning reels or multiplier reels securely. A rugged STC XR hardcase is supplied for safe transit. - Model Name: STC XR Spinning Monster - Length: 2.70 meters (approx. 8ft 10in) - Transport Length: 59cm (Closed Length) - Pieces: 5 - Casting Weight (Lure Weight): 42g – 168g - Action: Moderate-Fast - Blank Construction: High Modulus Full Carbon + HPC, Nanosheet, Diaflash - Guides: Fuji Stainless Steel K-Type Alconite - Reel Seat: Fuji DPS - Handle: Split Grip EVA - Supplied With: STC XR Hardcase
