Mastering the Current — A Native Trout Rod

For trout anglers, every stream holding wild trout is something special.
The Cardiff Stream Premium is the ultimate trout rod designed to walk alongside you through these native fields.

Each model features a grip optimized in length and shape for maximum comfort. Generous use of natural wood and aluminum components creates a handle that deepens in character the more it is used. Beneath the dappled forest light of mountain streams, the blanks—built with Spiral X Core and High Power X—emit a subtle silver sheen as you cast precisely into your target spot.

In addition to the classic sizes favored for mountain streams, the lineup includes:

• A highly portable 4-piece glass composite pack model
• An SUL-power model specialized for handling lighter lures
• Mainstream river models ideal for monster hunting

Altogether, the series consists of a comprehensive 13-model lineup.

FEATURES

Refined Logo Design

The logo is engraved in a subtle gold tone, while the blank features a silver gradient from the butt end toward the logo. The natural color scheme blends into the surrounding scenery and enhances the beauty of the trout.

Natural Wood Reel Seat

Each rod features a natural wood reel seat with a unique appearance. The warmth, depth, and traditional feel of natural materials complement the advanced technology built into the rod.

Seamless Fighting Seat CI4+ (Bait Models)

Maintains excellent palming performance while utilizing high-strength carbon-reinforced CI4+ material. Carefully hollowed construction reduces weight while preserving strength.

End Badge & Metal Ring

A special end badge is installed at the grip end, reflecting a commitment not only to performance but also to craftsmanship and tool value.

X Guide

A seamless guide created through Shimano’s proprietary cold-forging process. Its jointless construction minimizes line tangles and maintains extremely high rigidity.

X Guide Aero

A rounded frame cross-section reduces air resistance during casting and minimizes line damage. Designed to resist tangling, it helps suppress line trouble even in strong or headwind conditions.

Available on S64L, S72L, and S74ML models only.
