SHIMANO Free Game XT S49UL

Shimano challenge to change the concept of pack & travel rod.

The Free Game XT is a full-fledged shore-style multi-piece rod that overcomes the various weaknesses of pack and travel rods. The blanks are equipped with Shimano's high power X. The blanks, which tend to be heavy and saggy due to the large number of joints, have been given tension to pursue a sharp swing. Also, in the Free Game XT, we dared to adopt parallel succession. This gives you strong butt power. Compared to drawing, the degree of freedom in setting the guide is higher, leading to better performance. Of course, the portability and ease of use unique to pack and travel rods are also thoroughly pursued. The size is set to less than 60 cm, which is the size that can be carried on board domestic aircraft, and can be stored in a large suitcase. In addition, the tip piece is set slightly shorter than the other pieces. It prevents the tip part from being damaged when carrying it in two or three parts. Responsiveness has been further improved.

*The carry-on size may vary depending on the aircraft and airline.
Please check with each airline in advance when carrying on.

In addition, by adopting a parallel joint structure that has a higher degree of freedom in setting the guide compared to the swing, in addition to increasing the power of the entire rod including the bat, it is an ideal blank design that is not bound by the large number of joints. is enabled.
