Command tournament-winning performance with the next generation of Shimano Expride B Casting Rods. Designed for serious freshwater anglers, especially bass fishermen, the Expride B series delivers exceptional sensitivity, casting accuracy, and power. Shimano incorporates its Hi-Power X blank technology to eliminate rod twist and improve strength and responsiveness, while the Carbon Monocoque handle — a lightweight hollow carbon grip — transfers vibrations directly into the angler's hand for up to 30% more bite sensitivity. These rods also feature CI4+ reel seats and Fuji SiC guides, keeping the entire setup light, balanced, and tournament-ready. With a wide variety of actions and lengths, the Expride B series covers everything from finesse techniques to heavy swimbait applications.
