Shimano Sustain Spinning Rod

Description

The Shimano Sustain spinning rod range pairs a satin black blank with silver and gold flashes and anodized metal trim, a finish designed to match the reel of the same name. Beyond the looks, the range is built for versatility: whichever model you choose, you can swap between fishing styles with ease, with a wide selection of extra-fast and moderate-fast spinning models available. The High Modulus Full Carbon blank uses Spiral X technology, which helps overcome blank twist and increases rod strength while keeping weight low. The result is improved casting accuracy, more power transmission, increased lure control and better fish-playing performance. The range covers both freshwater and in-shore saltwater fishing, from large pike to small, lightweight saltwater rock fish. All rods are fitted with Fuji K-type Alconite guides and Shimano Ci4+ reel seats. Models with extra-fast actions cast well and have sensitive tips combined with a powerful middle, suiting long-range hard baits for pike or bass as well as jigs and soft baits for zander and perch. Models with moderate-fast actions are better suited to crankbait fishing, are a little easier to cast with smaller lures, and have a semi-parabolic playing action that gives you confidence to apply pressure when needed. - Improved ergonomic and lightweight Ci4+ reel seat for comfort and grip during fishing action. - Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer, and an outer layer both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction enhances anglers' "catching power." - The satin black blank, with flashes of silver and gold, finished off with anodized metal trim matches the reel of the same name, and screams class in an understated way.
