Key Features of the New Surf Chaser
Effortless and Enjoyable Surf Casting
The renewed Surf Chaser offers excellent cost performance as an all-round casting rod, now enhanced with a screw-type reel seat for increased power and stability during fights.
Enhanced Reel Stability for Power Fighting
With climate changes expanding the range of target species—such as jobfish (shibudai), blue-spotted grouper (taman), and groupers—the screw-type reel seat replaces the traditional plate seat, providing a stronger grip on the reel for stable casting and reeling.
The improved reel fixation enhances casting accuracy and distance, offering a more reliable experience for all anglers.
Optimized Reel Seat Position for Better Handling
The reel seat length has been redesigned for better maneuverability, making surf casting lighter and more comfortable. Unlike conventional rods designed solely for long-distance casting, this new setup is optimized for real fishing conditions, making it easier to control and more effective for reeling in fish.
Additionally, the lower reel position provides better stability when using rod stands (tripods or monopods), making strike detection and response more efficient.
Total Guide Hold System for a Stress-Free Experience
A common issue with telescopic rods is the rotation of movable guides, which can cause casting errors and unnecessary adjustments. The Shimano-exclusive guide locking system prevents this, ensuring stable performance and uninterrupted fishing.
New Model Additions for Versatile Targeting
The updated 9-model lineup supports a wide range of targets, from whiting, flatfish, and black sea bream (25 & 27 class) to red sea bream, rockfish, and large flatfish (30 class). The addition of the 33-450T model, designed for big game species like jobfish, giant trevally, and chum salmon, further expands its versatility.
The new numbering system simplifies model selection, making it easier for anglers—especially beginners—to choose the ideal rod for their fishing needs.
Retaining High-Power Performance for Big Fish
The Hyper Power X reinforcement from the previous model continues to minimize twisting, maintaining casting precision and power. This makes the Surf Chaser an excellent choice for those seeking both lightweight usability and high-level performance, regardless of the target species.
