• CI4+ Reel Seat
  • CI4 is a Shimano-original material reinforced with carbon fiber. It is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material. This highly technical material is 2.5 times more rigid than CI4 and is used in Shimano reel seats to increase sensitivity and reduce weight. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat also delivers remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation, which results in better rod efficiency.
• Hi-Power X
  • In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of 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. Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
• Carbon Monocoque Handle
  • Carbon Monocoque grip is a carbon-molded grip that is lightweight with high sensitivity, transferring even the smallest vibration to an angler’s hand. The Carbon Monocoque grip increases sensitivity by 30% compared to traditional rod handles and utilizes a hollow structure that eliminates unnecessary parts of the rear grip to improve weight reduction and vibration transmission.
• Features a wide variety of versatile actions
• Cork handle materials
