These rods are every bit as sharp as the swords they were named after. Graphite blanks, Fuji guides and graphite reel seats are a feature, with cork grips on the lighter rods and hard-wearing EVA on the bigger outfits. Whether you spin for sea bass or flick for snapper, or surf fishing, there’s a rod here to suit, and the deep purple blanks look absolutely sensational.This is one of Shimano’s biggest surf/rock rod range to date and the rods are available in a choice of medium and high winch mounts for threadline and overhead use. There’s also a timber sand spike to protect the blank.
