SHIMANO 25 Captur 274H/MH-2

A Powerhouse Tour Rod for Giant Fish Worldwide

Designed to meet the rising demand for expedition fishing, this powerhouse tour rod is built to take on the world's largest fish. From Japan’s giant bass and trevally to overseas battles with barramundi and peacock bass, it delivers the strength to go head-to-head with monster fish. Engineered for toughness, it withstands rough handling and transport shocks with ease. Available in two configurations: a one-and-a-half-piece model for checked luggage and a multi-piece model that fits neatly into a suitcase.

274H/MH-2: One & Half Model for Power and Precision

■ One & Half Select

Crafted with an eye on domestic and international versatility, the 274H/MH-2 achieves the ideal balance between portability and power with its one & half design. While it may be seen as over-spec for 3-5lb-class targets, it is specifically designed with extra margin to ensure reliable performance in various conditions.

■ Target Techniques of 274H/MH-2

The 274H/MH-2 features a tip with extra power, designed for secure hook sets while maintaining a gentle, regular action in the belly and below to absorb the power of big fish. This power-spin rod is built to bend and fight larger fish effectively.

It also includes an up-lock separate grip for comfortable fighting, allowing the angler to lock the end grip against the elbow for easier power control and a more natural feel during fights.

Unmatched Durability for Extreme Expeditions

When embarking on an expedition where there’s no turning back, only the toughest rod can stand up to the challenge. Designed for anglers who dream big, CAPTURE is built to withstand the harshest conditions and take on the largest fish anywhere in the world.

For international travel, selecting the right tackle is crucial. With limited gear, each rod must maximize performance while maintaining resilience against the fiercest targets. Additionally, ensuring the rod fits within airline carry-on regulations helps prevent lost baggage issues.

This is not just a rod—it’s your trusted companion, a one-of-a-kind powerhouse designed for global adventure.

Enhanced Usability with Large-Diameter Guides, Long Grip, and Round Cork End

To battle monster fish, high-strength PE lines are paired with heavy leaders exceeding 100lb. This setup prevents break-offs against sharp teeth, underwater structures, and intense fights. However, thick line knots can become problematic, interfering with guide clearance and reducing casting distance.

To counter this, CAPTURE features large-diameter guides throughout both spinning and baitcasting models, allowing smooth passage of knots. The spinning models incorporate X Guide Touch-Free, minimizing line friction against the frame or blank to reduce tangles and maximize casting distance.

The blank construction balances power and durability, bending deeply to ease angler fatigue while maintaining superior strength. A long grip handle offers versatile holding positions for enhanced control, while the round cork end provides additional stability during intense fights, absorbing unexpected shocks from the rod’s recoil.

One-and-a-Half-Piece Models for Seamless Travel

The 7-foot-class models (173MH-2, 1711H-SB/2, 274M-2, and 274H/MH-2) strike the ideal balance between portability and power. Their one-and-a-half-piece construction ensures they fit within airline baggage restrictions while delivering exceptional performance.

Designed for giant bass and freestyle applications, these rods are engineered with extreme durability, prepared for unexpected battles with trophy fish. Built with overwhelming strength, CAPTURE provides the extra margin needed to secure the catch of a lifetime.

Multi-Piece Models for Ultimate Expedition Toughness

For even greater portability, the 5-to-6-foot-class models (1510MH-4, 163H-5, 167XH-5, and 169XXXH-SB/5) feature heavy-duty multi-piece construction, perfect for extreme expeditions. Their compact breakdown size fits in a suitcase, eliminating worries about lost luggage while ensuring maximum travel convenience.

Designed for versatility, these rods allow instant adaptability in the field, with the power to take on world-class predators like barramundi, peacock bass, and other formidable gamefish.

Wherever the adventure leads, CAPTURE is built to dominate the toughest waters on the planet.

FEATURE Protective Rod Bag Included

CAPTURE comes with a custom-designed roll-type rod bag featuring the CAPTURE logo. The bag allows for secure storage of each rod piece when laid flat. Once rolled up, a durable strap keeps it tightly secured, ensuring hassle-free transport. The cushioned cover material provides excellent protection, safeguarding your rod from impacts and scratches during travel.
