Description
The Shimano Beastmaster CX Boat Rod is built for UK boat fishing, from the strong tides of the English Channel to the productive wrecks of the North Sea. Its slim profile and powerful action suit a range of popular boat techniques, whether you are targeting big cod on the drift or pulling pollack from a wreck. Boat fishing in the UK is a year-round pursuit, and the Beastmaster CX is suited to the main methods: - Bottom fishing: anchoring over a reef or bank to bait-fish for species like cod, ling, or bull huss. The rod's progressive action allows for precise bite detection, while its power reserves are crucial for lifting large fish from the seabed. - Drifting: covering ground over wrecks and reefs to target pollack, coalfish, and bass with lures and pirks. The rod's slim, lightweight design makes it comfortable for continuous jigging and working artificial baits. - Feathering: a classic UK method for catching mackerel, particularly during the summer months. The rod's sensitive tip and strong backbone handle the fast action and multiple hook-ups that often occur when mackerel are in a feeding frenzy. The Beastmaster name has long been a benchmark for performance and reliability in the UK angling scene, and the CX Boat Slim continues that tradition. It is engineered with modern materials and a braid-friendly design, making it a suitable partner for today's fishing reels. - Blank Material: Full Carbon with Diaflash technology for increased stiffness and power. - Guides: Special stainless-steel guides designed for use with braided mainline. - Reel Seat: Shimano Aluminium reel seat. - Handle: Split grip EVA handle for a comfortable, modern feel. - Action: Fast and progressive, balancing sensitivity with immense fighting power. - Length: 2.29m (7' 6"). - Sections: 2-piece design for easy transport and storage. - Available in Class Weights: - 12-20lb: Ideal for inshore light bottom fishing and drifting for species like plaice, dab, and smaller cod. - 20-30lb: The versatile all-rounder, perfect for general boat fishing, targeting cod, pollack, and bass. - 30-50lb: For deep-water fishing and targeting the largest UK species like big conger eels and ling.
