Refine the suitability and delicacy of various lures, and revolutionize modern bass fishing again.

The Versatile Rod Zodias, which has been recognized by the world, has further refined its sensibility. The newly designed lightweight thin structure and reliable powerful blanks adopt a carbon monocoque structure that has been installed only in high-end models so far. Quickly detect changes in terrain and vibrations transmitted from fish, and transmit them clearly to your hand like an electrical signal. You can have a clearer image of the underwater world each time you cast, which is directly linked to an efficient game. We also have a new lineup of models that meet the needs of modern anglers, such as a 2-piece glass composite, a solid tip bait, and a long-length 2-piece. We will build a new global standard for bass rods.

The carbon monocoque grip, which quickly senses changes in the water, further refines sensitivity by synergizing with the blank that hides power inside.

High sensitivity 30% higher than conventional products Hollow structure transmits underwater vibrations realistically!

The rear grip is finished with a hollow structure of carbon integral molding, and adopts Shimano's unique rod technology "Сarbon Monocoque Grip" that vividly transmits vibrations from the water. The change in the water transmitted to the hand through the blanks is clear and distinct. In addition to the ability to transmit information that achieves 130% higher sensitivity than conventional models, the innovative mechanism with unprecedented lightness combines excellent functionality and design. You can feel the difference in more severe conditions.

Reinforced structure that suppresses twisting that occurs during casting and fighting

By tightening the outermost layer of the blanks in an X shape with carbon tape, the original excellent performance of the blanks is fully demonstrated. When casting, the tip is prevented from twisting and the lure is delivered to the target spot, and its sharp tension enhances hooking power and contributes to power fights.
