SHIMANO FISHING Expride Spinning Rod

The Expride spinning and baitcasting rod range is a versitile range for freshwater predator fishing. It´s a rod with an extra fast action, which makes it suitable for modern fishing techniques. It can be used allround for casting crankbaits and softbaits for species like pike, zander and perch. Because of the extra fast action, the rod is very sensitive and has a lot of back-bone to set the hook properly. This also helps fighting fish. The biggest change: the blank of this new Expride is made of higher modulus carbon than the previous one; this improves the action, balance and weight of the rod. The reelseat is updated to create better grip and the design is updated slightly Features: - High modulus carbon with Hi-Power X construction - Improved balance for ultimate performance and comfort - New Ci4+ reel seat with soft-touch rubber coating - Fuji Stainless SiC guides Specifications: - Rod type:spinning - Grip:eva - Blank material:hi-power x + taftec - Reel seat:ci4+ reel seat + rubber coating - Packaging:cloth bag - Guide type:fuji - Lengths:1.93 - 2.41 - Weight (g):102 - Length (m):198 - Transport length (cm):102 - Number of sections:2 - Number of guides:9 - Casting weight (g):3-10 Technology: - HI-POWER X In Hi-Power X construction, the blank´s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of ´´X´´ shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler. - FUJI SIC Silicon Carbide or SiC is one of the most advanced ceramics available today. It´s the hardest and most durable in Fuji´s lineup and because of this, SiC Guides are particularly well suited for braided line.
