TRANSCENDENCE 24 ShoreR 94S

The ShoreR94S is a big game rod designed for rock shore fishing, built to continuously push the limits of anglers.

It has been rigorously tested in diverse environments, including the Tokara Islands, Yakushima, Sado, and Gabon, with a focus on targeting species like GTs (Giant Trevally), dogtooth tuna, and yellowtail amberjack.

Shore-based big game fishing typically involves expeditions—taking flights, ferries to remote islands, and trekking over rocky shores. Throughout the six years of testing, there were countless frustrating and challenging moments, yet the rod provided unforgettable triumphs that made all the hardships worthwhile.

Given the limited time and opportunities during these expeditions, anglers must maximize their chances by covering large areas, sometimes even switching islands, to get closer to the fish. This is where the multi-piece design of the ShoreR94S shines. Its lightweight build allows for smooth casting and comfort while enabling you to keep pushing forward in tough conditions.

With a well-balanced stiffness throughout the rod, the ShoreR94S excels at controlling sinking minnows and sinking pencils, bringing life to your lures. It’s a rod that has been refined and improved to be the ultimate companion for anglers chasing the toughest and most extreme big game fishing dreams.

ShoreR94S:

The ShoreR94S represents a genre of its own—a rod perfected for the ultimate shore casting experience. The foundation of TRANSCENDENCE lies in overseas fishing expeditions, where versatility is essential to face any monster fish that may arise. Shore casting demands a variety of elements, such as rod length, strength, bend curve, grip length, and weight, all of which come together in the design of the ShoreR94S.

With specifications suited for confronting monster fish in both domestic and international waters, the ShoreR94S has been crafted to establish itself as a versatile rod within the shore casting category. It is designed to meet the diverse challenges anglers face, ensuring that no matter the field or the size of the fish, the ShoreR94S is prepared to perform.

Accessing rock shores and overseas fishing fields is always more convenient with compact gear. Reaching the rocky shores isn’t limited to just using boats. In such environments, the ShoreR94S takes full advantage of its 4-piece rod design, allowing you to keep both hands free as you make your way to challenging spots. By securing the rod to your backpack, you can confidently approach even the most difficult access points, ready to take on the adventure without worry.

The ShoreR94S was designed specifically for targeting big fish from the shore, both domestically and internationally. In Japan, it targets species like GT (giant trevally), dogtooth tuna, and yellowtail (hiramasa) from the shore. Internationally, the rod is intended for species such as tarpon, roosterfish, and cubera snapper.

One of its standout features is its surprising lightness, especially considering its 9.4ft length and robust butt section. Anglers who grip the ShoreR94S are often amazed by its nimble feel. The rod’s carefully designed bend curve adds to its performance—it’s not just stiff but strong in its flexibility. This is a crucial element for the extreme shore-based monster fishing it was built for, allowing anglers to handle large, powerful fish while maintaining control and strength.

Casting Performance｜ShoreR94S

Take casting, for example. The ShoreR94S bends smoothly, helping to reduce fatigue and allowing anglers to maintain focus. This becomes especially important when you’re waiting for that fleeting moment—when a monster fish strikes. Only those with their lure in the water at that precise moment can experience that blissful encounter. Until that moment comes, casting tirelessly is key, and conserving energy and concentration is essential for staying prepared.

The ShoreR94S is built with Transcendence’s top-tier blanks, designed to maximize breaking strength. Its regular action bend curve reduces the strain on the angler during the fight. At the same time, the blanks provide just the right amount of recovery power, allowing the rod to automatically keep the pressure on the fish throughout the battle.

9.4ft Length｜LENGTH
Measuring at 9.4 feet, the ShoreR94S strikes the perfect balance between casting distance and ease of handling. This length provides the versatility needed for a range of shore-based big game fishing scenarios, allowing for long casts while maintaining enough control for precision in challenging conditions. Whether targeting GT from rocky outcrops or going after tarpon in foreign waters, the 9.4ft length is ideal for anglers looking to challenge the limits from the shore.

ShoreR94S Length Evolution
The ShoreR94S went through numerous prototypes before settling on its final length. Initially starting at 10.8 feet, the design was progressively refined through lengths in the 10-foot range, before ultimately arriving at 9.4 feet. This decision was made after extensive field testing, where anglers cast for over 8 hours a day without residual fatigue. The 9.4ft length proved to be the optimal balance, allowing for smooth casting with both small and large lures across a variety of fishing environments.

Why 9.4ft?
While many rods on the market focus on greater strength or extended lengths, the decision to go with 9.4ft for the ShoreR94S was the result of countless travels and the search for versatility. The design strikes the perfect balance for big game fishing from the shore, accommodating different terrains and fish species while ensuring comfort and performance over long fishing sessions.

Committed to Quality
ShoreR94S is designed to handle a wide range of lures, from diving pencils to poppers and sinking pencils. Its flexible blank allows for versatile techniques like long jerks or short jerks, adapting seamlessly to the movements of the lure. The blank's rebound transfers power efficiently to the lure, making it easier for the angler to execute strong jerks for sinking pencils, smooth dives for pencils, and controlled splashes for poppers. With ShoreR94S, you have full control over your lure's action, ensuring precision and responsiveness in every cast.

Guide Setting

The ShoreR94S is designed for reel sizes ranging from 14,000 to 20,000, with a guide setup optimized for these reels. The top guide is sized at 16, ensuring smooth line release even with a line setup of PE 8-10 and a leader of up to 80lb. This guide configuration is specifically tailored to handle the heavy-duty line required for big game fishing, allowing for smooth casting and minimal resistance when the line exits the guides.

Blanks

The blanks of the ShoreR94S were developed with a focus on strength, rebound, lightness, and flexibility. Achieving this balance was no easy feat, but the final product weighs only 393g. Despite its robust construction, the rod feels incredibly light in hand, offering a surprising balance that anglers will notice immediately upon holding it. Whether you're targeting yellowtail, tuna, or southern GT, this rod is built to handle the challenge.
