Take command of tournament-level performance with the latest Shimano Expride casting and spinning rods. Building on a proven heritage, the rods feature a reinforced backbone thanks to Shimano Hi-Power X technology and have been expanded with new models and improved capabilities by integrating a Carbon Monocoque handle. This hollow carbon handle is lightweight and boosts vibration transfer through the blank into the angler’s hand, delivering up to 30% more sensitivity for crisper bite detection. Exceptionally light with outstanding balance, the Expride range also uses CI4+ reel seats and Fuji SiC guides for top-tier feel and durability. Shimano’s Hi-Power X blank construction lets rod designers dial in precise actions across models geared for versatility, power fishing, or casting large swimbaits, while also improving casting distance and accuracy. The next era of Expride’s tournament-proven lineage has arrived.
