SHIMANO Lake Master Expec M02K Kamisori Shallow

Recognize the Bites, Tempt, and Hook. Share the "Joy of Catching" with All Anglers.

There was a saying that the true enjoyment of fishing begins when you transition from "caught fish" to "caught fish." Recognizing the various signals at the tip of the rod and actively enticing a fish to hook it brings immense joy. However, the activity of whitebait changes constantly due to factors such as weather, water temperature, and time of day. Anglers must shift their rigs and techniques according to the condition of the whitebait. We want to capture changes that can only be sensed as subtle shifts and actively entice fish that show no interest in bait to bite.

The Lake Master Ex-Spec is a unique series designed to refine its features for specific fishing spots and techniques. Enjoy the "joy of catching" to the fullest!

Note: When attaching to products from other companies, even if the fitting part is marked with the same Φ5mm specification, it may not fit properly. Please confirm the fitment state with the actual product before use.

Lake Master Expec M02K:

Sensitivity and Response Like a Hand-Spring Rod: A Technical Model That Delivers Sharp and Precise Presentations
This technical model features a razor-sharp taper design focused on delivering sharp and precise presentations. By incorporating tapering not only in thickness but also in width, along with small diameter guides, the tip has been made lightweight. This design achieves sensitivity and response reminiscent of a guide-less hand-spring rod. The rod responds linearly to even the smallest movements at the handle, giving the lure a lively action. It adapts well to various techniques, including jigging, lifting, and delicate presentations. The orthodox tip action is highly sensitive while allowing for excellent fish hook-up rates. It is effective not only during tough bites but also for targeting multiple catches during high activity periods. The timing for hook sets is easy to grasp, making it versatile for various conditions. This rod particularly shines in shallow waters of 10 meters or less when using lighter weights.

“Seeking the Joy of Catching”: Three New Items Crafted with Precision

To respond to slight changes in conditions such as how bites occur and weather, three new items have been added to the unique Lake Master Ex-Spec series, which is designed and refined for specific fishing spots and techniques. With these new additions, you can make even more precise adjustments, capturing subtle bites that were previously missed and enabling delicate enticements. Experience the "joy of catching" with the complete Lake Master Ex-Spec series, now featuring a total of nine items.

1. Lightweight Small-Diameter Guides
The top guide features lightweight small-diameter guides that keep line twist in check without compromising the rod's action. (Excludes L05S)

2. Enhanced Visibility Top Color
The color at the tip is designed with a high-visibility contrast of yellow, black, and orange, ensuring that you won’t miss delicate bites.

3. Narrow Width Guide Thread
The guides are fixed with the narrowest width thread. This, combined with the wavy shape, creates a unique action that minimizes stiffness.

4. Thin Film Lightweight Coating
The thin film lightweight coating brings out the distinctive action of the Ex-Spec, achieving a high level of sensitivity. It vividly expresses subtle bites from deeper waters.

5. Precision Flat Solid Tip
To express the desired action, the solid section is crafted in Shimano’s unique flat design. It is finely made with minimal variance, reflecting Japanese craftsmanship.

6. Wavy Shape
Models S01F and L05S minimize the stiffness in the guide section and enhance the flexibility of the flat tip.
