The Shimano Expride Baitcast Rods are designed with Shimano's exclusive Hi-Power X carbon-wrapped blank construction, resulting in finely tuned rod actions. These rods are specifically designed for versatility, power fishing, and throwing swimbaits, while also providing anglers with enhanced casting distance and accuracy. One of the standout features of the Expride Baitcast Rods is the innovative and lightweight Carbon Monocoque butt. This design increases lure vibration transfer through the rod and into the angler's hand, resulting in up to 30% more sensitivity. The grip assembly is made with high-grade cork, providing a better feel and increased bite transmission. Not only are the Expride Baitcast Rods extremely lightweight, but they also have excellent balance in the hand. These rods feature CI4+ reel seats and quality Fuji SiC guides, ensuring premium angling performance and increased durability. As a dedicated lure casting range, these rods also come with hook keepers for added convenience.
