Welcome to the 2014 Shimano Catalogue. Throughout the world Shimano fishing tackle is associated with innovation, quality and value. Whether it’s the latest version of the award winning Stella SW, designed for some of the most extreme fishing on the planet, or the new ‘value for money’ Exage Mono, the one thing you can rely on is the Shimano name. It’s your guarantee of quality.

As a company, Shimano design products from the top down and constantly push the boundaries of what is possible. The benefit for anglers is that our most innovative products deliver genuine advantages, not available elsewhere. And the benefits are not only restricted to high-end products, Shimano mid and lower-priced products also feature superb innovation.

X-Ship, developed for the very best Shimano reels in the world, now appears at the heart of many mid-priced reels. X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. This delivers outstanding performance including more power, less wear and improved reliability.

Our rod range continues to grow and gain an enviable reputation. At the high-end of the market Shimano are one of only a few companies to use 3M Powerlux, the most advanced carbon resin in the world. Rods built using this technology are stronger, lighter and more responsive. A perfect example of this is the outstanding new Tribal Ultra carp rod.

For mid-range and lower-priced rods Shimano uses many different material technologies including HPC (High Pressure Carbon) and Biofibre, which adds strength and increases feeling and response.

As an indication of how important Shimano view all anglers, irrespective of ability or budget, we are now using Fuji guides on many mid-priced rods.

As you look through this 2014 Shimano catalogue you will notice a wide range of new products. Some of these are upgrades are on well known products, part of the natural evolution embraced by Shimano.

The award winning Stella SW is a classic example of Shimano’s continual development program. We have taken a reel considered by many to be the best in the world and made it even better, by introducing a wide range of upgrades. The same applies to Power Pro Zero Impact. This is Power Pro braid with increased diameter sections placed along its full length. This enables you to make stronger connections in the increased diameter zone without using a heavier braid.

Further developments include the launch of Exage mono. This award winning line is available in a wide range of sizes and also comes in a new ‘spool filler’ concept which eliminates waste by offering you the correct amount of line for a stated spool size. The ‘free line’ promotion, launched last year, also continues with new 2014 and previous 2013 Shimano reels.

Following the huge success of the Organised Compact Design carp luggage, a new Tribal XTR range is now available with improved features and an exclusive, modern camouflage pattern developed especially by Shimano.

Innovation, quality and value. Shimano delivers all three, across a range of product covering the needs of all anglers, from the most advanced to the least experienced.

Shimano... when it’s time to go fishing, it’s the name you can trust.

REELSSHIMANO

EVER SINCE MR. SHOZABURA SHIMANO INVENTED THE FIRST FREE WHEEL BACK IN 1921, SHIMANO HAS PUT ALL ITS TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, KNOW HOW AND MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE INTO THEIR PRODUCTS. IT IS THEREFORE EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY OUR FISHING REELS ARE KNOWN, THE WORLD OVER, FOR BEING BOTH HIGHLY DURABLE AND RELIABLE OPERATORS IN ANY CONDITIONS. BEST DESCRIBED AS MECHANICAL PIECES OF ART!

�7�REEL TECHNOLOGY

AT THE HEART OF ALMOST ALL TOP AND MID�PRICED SHIMANO REELS IS X�SHIP. THIS TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURE PRODUCES OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY SHIMANO HAS THE ENVIABLE REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE PREMIER REEL MANUFACTURERS IN THE WORLD.

Shimano has many unique technological features which deliver the ultimate in reel performance, and at the heart of many models is Shimano X-Ship.

X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano A-RB roller bearings. This creates more stability and minimises pinion gear twist and rotor deflection in extreme situations.

3 Shimano A-RB Roller Bearings

4 Pinion Gear shaft

THE BENEFITS OF X�SHIP

•Lighter handle rotation

•Greater winding power

•Less deflection of the rotor under extreme pressure

•Reduced twist of the pinion gear shaft

•Increased smoothness

•Reduced wear

•Maximum efficiency


X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano A-RB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

Shimano Shielded A-RB bearings use a shield to prevent contamination. This protection reduces wear, improves efficiency and deliverers super smooth performance.

Shimano S A-RB bearings are high corrosion resistant A-RB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust. S A-RB bearings are used in salt water reels.

The precision engineered main Hypergear transmits more power from the handle to the rotor. Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires less effort but returns more retrieve playing torque with vastly reduced component wear.

Hypergear

Easy Maintenance is a small oil lubrication port that enables direct lubrication of the inner workings of a reel with approved Shimano lubricant. Some high-end Shimano reels have a line roller lubrication option.

CI4 is an exclusive material created by the inter-fusion of carbon and polyamide. It is almost as strong as metal with the lightness of a composite. CI4 is used for the body and rotor on many Shimano reels.

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many high-end Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

GEARING AND BEARINGS MATERIALS

Dyna-Balance reduces wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing Shimano are able to redistribute the rotor weight to create eliminate vibrations.

aluminiumShimano uses aluminium in many different forms to construct lightweight, ultra strong reel bodies and rotors for mid-priced and high-end reels.

Diecast aluminium is used for many types of reel and is most common on fixed spool reel bodies and rotors. It is also used for spools on P4 fixed spool reels and come baitcasting models.

Cold Forged aluminium is used for some ‘round’ reels, fly reels and is also used for many types of spool. Made from one single piece of aluminium Cold Forging produces great strength.

Machined aluminum is used for the very best multiplier reels where precision, strength and lightness are very important.

Hybrid bodies are produced from a combination of aluminium and XT7.

magnesiumShimano use magnesium for a select number of ultra high quality reels where weight saving is essential. The use of magnesium offers a weight saving of up to 10% compared with aluminium.

XGT-7XGT-7 is an improved version of the tried and trusted Shimano XT-7 composite material. Used on some of the newest mid-priced reels XGT-7 is lightweight and stiff.

XT-7XT-7 is the original Shimano composite reel material. Used on mid-priced and budget reels and spools XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight.

�9�REEL TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY

SHIMANO HAVE A REPUTATION FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BELOW IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE MOST

IMPORTANT SHIMANO REEL FEATURES. MANY FEATURES, ORIGINALLY ONLY ON THE MOST TECHNICAL REELS, ARE NOW WIDELY

AVAILABLE. THESE FEATURES INCLUDE X�SHIP, AERO WRAP II AND A�RC SPOOLS.

Aero Wrap and the advanced Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds. This provides superb uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy during the cast. Aero Wrap II is considered one of the best line lay systems in the world.

Varispeed and the latest version called VariSpeed II oscillation system moves with two variable speeds to lay the line flat and smooth onto the spool. This provides trouble-free, longer distant casts. Varispeed is found on budget and mid-priced Shimano reels.

LINE LAY AND LINE MANAGEMENT

AerowaveAerowave is used on some Shimano saltwater spinning reels. This oscillation system is simple in nature, yet produces excellent line lay with both braid and mono. The special grooved design

of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.

Shimano AR-C Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid. AR-C spools are now standard on almost all Shimano reels.

OscillationOne speed Oscillation -the spool moves at a consistent speed.

Two speed Oscillation - the spool moves at two different speeds.

Slow Oscillation - the spool moves slowly allowing more line wraps per cycle.

Super Slow Oscillation - the spool moves very slowly forming almost parallel wraps of line.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Super Stopper II eliminates backward movement and free play in the handle when the reel is set in anti-reverse.

Rigid Support DragRigid Support Drag eliminates spool movement and wobble, even at light drag settings. The result is an incredibly smooth drag even at extremely light settings.

Waterproof DragUsing special protection gaskets, the drag is protected against the intrusion of water for more consistent drag performance.

Fightin’ DragA secondary drag system used on some rear drag reels. Fightin’ Drag enables the easy adjustment of the drag setting whilst playing the fish.

Baitrunner Spool II allows the drag setting to be switched from a pre-set freespool to a pre-set drag setting by adjusting the Baitrunner lever at the front of the spool.

Instant Drag allows the drag setting to be switched from free spool to a ‘fight’ setting by tightening the Instant Drag lever on the front of the spool in only a few turns.

The Biomaster FB is a classic front drag reel which has been hugely popular with general anglers throughout the UK. The X-ship gearing produces the efficient power required to play hard fighting fish effectively and enables a smaller sized reel to be used, even when fishing for large barbel, tench, carp or aggressive predators. The body of the Biomaster is made from top grade aluminium to keep weight to a minimum and the lightweight folding handle makes made-up transport easier.

There is also a larger 6000 size which is ideal for specialist anglers who want even more power and casting performance. All models have seven S A-RB bearings plus a roller bearing to ensure smoothness to match the sophisticated looks of the classic Biomaster FB.

The five-strong Rarenium front drag family of reels is built around Ci4 space age technology. Smallest of the quartet, the 1000FA, weighs just 170 grams and has a spool capacity of 140yds of 4lb line, whilst the 4000FA which takes 160yds of 12lb and tips the scales at 260 grams. All the models are packed with high-end features including Cold Forged gear, six S A-RB bearings, Cold Forged Aluminium spool, Aero Wrap II, Aluminium single handle plus Maintenance Port. The shallow spooled 3000 model has become a big favourite with top match anglers as the compact size and remarkable lightness balances shorter rods perfectly when fishing small commercials, whilst still retaining the power to beat large carp quickly.

The new AR-C Aero follows on from the success of the Aero introduction last year. Available in a versatile 4000 size, in both standard (4.8:1) and high speed (6.2:1) options, the AR-C Aero is made from technically advanced CI4+ composite for a huge weight reduction – just 255g. The combination of X-ship gearing and 6 Shielded A-RB bearings plus a roller bearing ensure maximum power and smooth performance. For easy accurate casting the Aero uses Aerowrap II line lay and an AR-C spool.

THE SHIMANO AERO CONCEPT HARNESSES THE POWER OF SHIMANO’S STRONG ENGINEERING BACKGROUND AND JAPANESE ROOTS TO MAKE A UNIQUE STATEMENT IN HIGH PERFORMANCE REEL DESIGN. The three reels introduced under the Aero Concept have been designed for specific uses; Match, Feeder and Spinning.

The Match and Feeder versions have been developed specifically for the UK match angler, taking into consideration the requirements of modern match fishing.

The large diameter spool makes casting easier with the stronger line now being used on commercial fisheries and the front drags deliver smooth, confidence building performance when playing fish. All Aero reels have Shimano X-ship engineering which provides smooth and efficient power transfer from the handle to the rotor, even when placed under excessive stress.

The Aero Spinning version is equipped with a relatively slow 4.8:1 gear ratio which delivers a more controllable performance when working all types of lure and increased torque and power when playing hard fighting predators. Finished in metallic silver, the Aero Spin features both Aero Wrap II and an oversized AR-C spool which combine to deliver outstanding casting performance, even with lightweight lures. The Aero Spinning comes with two different sized line reducers enabling spool capacity to be changed to suit personal preference – perfect for anglers who swap between braid and mono reel lines.

As its name implies, the Aero match is the perfect reel for serious match anglers, with a versatile gear ratio of 5, 2:1 which retrieves 93cm of line per handle turn. Its large AR-C spool, combined with Aero Wrap II, ensures that casting performance is not reduced when using heavy mono reel lines up to 10lb, making it perfect for all commercial fisheries. The Aero Match comes with two different sized line reducers enabling spool capacity to bechanged to suit personal preference.

The Aero Concept reel with the fastest gear ratio (5.8:1), especially selected for medium and long range distance feeder fishing, retrieves 104cm of line with each full handle turn! The oversized AR-C spool improves casting performance, especially when using heavy mono main lines which have become more necessary in recent years as fish get larger. Along with a prestigious line up of top Shimano features, the Aero Feeder comes with two different sized line reducers enabling spool capacity to be changed to suit personal preference.

For anglers who prefer a double handle for feeder fishing an additional handle can be purchased from your Shimano dealer.

FRONT DRAG REELS

The perfect choice for the new Exage FD reel is the new Exage monofilament line. Exceptional knot strength, with supple characteristics, it is ideal for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. See page 201 for more details.

The new M Compact Body on the Exage FD reel is smaller than previous models. Made from a new composite material called XGT-7, which is an improved version of the tried and trusted Shimano XT-7 composite material. The result is a lighter and more rigid body that offers excellent support to the gearing and moving parts of the reel.

The new Exage FD features the VariSpeed II oscillation system which moves the spool with two variable speeds. The result is excellent line lay. This provides trouble-free, longer distant casts and reduces the chance of line bedding-in when playing hard fighting fish.

The new STELLA SW focuses on absolute power. To achieve it, toughness, cranking power, rigidity, water resistance and drag performances have all been upgraded.

The core technologies are X-Ship, which enhances power transmission efficiency through the gear, plus Power Aluminium Body, X-Rigid Rotor, X-Rigid Bail and X-Rigid Handle to improve rigidity and eliminate loss of power caused by flexing. Synergy generated by all these technologies combine to prevent loss of power input from the handle and create enormous cranking power. In order to support this power, extreme toughness from X-Rigid Gear is introduced at the heart of the reel’s body.

X-Tough Drag, with its dramatically enhanced heat resistance and toughness, anticipates the blazing speed of bluefin tuna and giant trevally. Drag performance has been made even smoother, further assuring its reliability. In addition to these epoch-making mechanisms, focus is also placed on water resistance, in order to maintain their initial performance and toughness. The dependable X-Shield system has been applied throughout, and X-Protect provided at the roller clutch assembly - a crucial area for water resistance.

THE STRONGEST EVER SPINNING REEL BY SHIMANO. AN INTEGRATION OF TOUGHNESS AND SMOOTHNESS DELIVERS PERFECTION.

RIGID GEAR � ULTIMATE TOUGHNESS ABLE TO BEAR ENORMOUS LOADUltimate toughness was sought for the main gear to withstand the maximum drag needed when tackling o�shore pursuits. The di�erence is obvious; the new main gear is thicker and stronger. With its additional special surface coating, a maximum of 38% greater durability is achieved over past STELLA reels. This is a super tough gear suitable for the heart of the new STELLA SW, designed for perfection in the most extreme situations.

POWERFUL SEALING STRUCTURE THROUGHOUTBy providing dependable sealing structures and gaskets at necessary points, including the reel body and lid joint and the contact point of the spool and drag knob, possible water ingress is blocked. This double protection provides high reliability and durability to the STELLA SW when used in extreme saltwater conditions.

TRIPLE�LIPS AND SPECIAL GREASE FOR PROTECTIONThe contact type triple-lip structure is introduced to the roller clutch, the pivotal point concerning water resistance. In this structure, the �rst lip prevents water from entering through the space between the rotor and the body. In addition, the special grease between the second and third lip - where it makes contact with the rotor collar located at the upper part of the roller clutch - not only resists water from entering but also minimizes friction resistance.

SINGLE PERFORMANCE IS NOTENOUGH FOR THE ULTIMATE DRAG SYSTEMThe drag system of the new STELLA SW has advanced enormously in terms of toughness, smoothness and performance. The basic drag performance has been extensively reviewed and each of the metal and carbon drag washers show excellent heat resistance and durability. Through an in-depth study of the thickness and frictional force of each component within the drag system, the best combinations for optimum performance parameters have been found for each model and size.

THE FOCUS IS NOT ONLY ON TOUGHNESS, BUT ALSO ON THE EFFECT OF ROTARY INERTIAConsidering the harsh environment of saltwater �shing, aluminium was selected for the rotor material because of its excellent durability, rigidity and corrosion resistance. Thorough attention was given to the thickness of every detail to create a strong rotor with assured toughness.While protecting the reel’s main body against impact during �shing and transportation, the rotor brings out the potential of all features such as X Tough Drag. The rotary inertia typical of aluminium generates the powerful and smooth performance of the new STELLA SW and e�ortlessly supports �shing with heavy load lures or while deep sea jigging.

RIGID BAIL IS ACHIEVED WITH SUPER STRONGTHICK TITANIUM WIREThe use of thicker titanium wire dramatically increased the rigidity and impact resistance of the bail arm. The nature of the metal makes the bail lighter and provides excellent corrosion resistance.A super-reliable bail system has been created by combining a one-piece bail wire, an SW barrier coat big roller reinforced with Diamond Like Carbon (DLC), and a high-strength hard coated arm cam.

NO LOSS OF CRANKING POWER!In the new STELLA SW, the handle shaft is now integrated with a one-piece collar. This all-in-one structure enhances rigidity of the shaft casing, while in addition a new con�guration is adopted for the mating surface with the handle shank. This allows the shaft casing to thoroughly and accurately encase the top of the handle shank, thereby increasing the rigidity of the entire handle. For 5000 size reels and larger, primarily used for power �shing, a cold-forged handle shank is used to prevent �exing and distortion while preventing internal torsion. With these new features, handle rigidity tests show a 35% increase in rigidity. Even under high load, the energy applied by an angler can be directly transmitted to cranking power.

POWERFUL PROTECTIONTHROUGH HIGH RIGIDITY

The new STELLA SW introduces high rigidity aluminium for its body material. This housing material emphasizes the STELLA SW concept to protect the reel’s interior from the extreme saltwater environment, creating a body with excellent toughness. This feature provides tremendous certainty in challenging saltwater �shing conditions, enabling anglers to focus on their big prey with con�dence.

The super fast retrieve ratio of between 5.8:1 (4000) and 6.0:1 (2500, 3000) results in 20% more line retrieved for every turn of the handle, making the GTM ideal for speed fishing and repeated casting. To provide the required smoothness at high speed the Super GTM is fitted with 3 Shielded Stainless Steel ball bearings, a roller bearing and a double handle for optimum balance. To keep the reel in perfect condition an easy maintenance port for lubrication is built into the lightweight XT-7 body. Ideal for float, feeder and fast lure fishing, the Super GTM-RC has a multi-disc drag plus adjustable Fightin’ Drag, Cold Forged AR-C spool and Aero Wrap II for optimum casting performance when using thin diameter mono and braid.

Super GT reels have earned a strong following over the years offering outstanding quality combined with value for money. Available in 1500, 2500, 3000S and 4000 sizes, the 3000S features a shallow spool, and like the rest of the models, comes with an XT-7 spare as standard. The XT-7 body and rotor provides the perfect finish for the precision engineering contained within, which includes Diecast gear, Slow Speed Oscillation, Super Stopper II, AR-C Spool, Maintenance Port facility and 3 Stainless Steel ball bearings and a roller bearing. Double handles feature on all four models and the Fightin’ Drag makes them suitable for carp match fishing as the drag can be instantly adjusted when playing the fish close to the net.

Nexave RC has a blue colour scheme designed to complement the full range of Nexave rods, and is the mid-range P4 reel which offers fantastic quality for an affordable price. Three shielded ball bearings and a roller bearing combine to produce a super smooth powerful performance and the multi-disc drag combined with Super Stopper II performs consistently and accurately when playing powerful fish. Featuring an Aluminium Spool with AR-C line management, plus Varispeed for excellent line lay with low diameter monos and braid delivering more precise casts even with light set-ups. The Nexave RC is one of the most recognisable reels in the rear drag range, and one that any angler can be proud to own.

Exage is the top P4 rear drag model and exudes quality with a visually stunning metallic platinum and gold finish. Featuring 4 shielded ball bearings and a roller bearing, Exage utilises a multi-disk rear drag system for smooth progressive performance, and Fightin’ Drag for precise adjustable control when playing fish. Featuring a Cold Forged Aluminium Spool with AR-C line management that’s suitable for both mono and braid, and Varispeed line lay which prevents fine mono and braid bedding in under pressure, the Exage RC is available in both single and double handle versions in a range of small and mid sizes from 1000 to 4000. For match anglers there is also a high speed (6.2:1) 3000 shallow spool, double handle model that is perfect for float and feeder fishing.

The superb striking design of the Catana features two shielded ball bearings and a roller bearing, providing smoothness usually found on much more expensive reels. A strong lightweight aluminium spool comes as standard making the Catana ideal for both mono and braided lines. The Catana RB is beautifully balanced and suitable for light lines as well as more demanding situations. Dyna-Balance for exceptional smoothness and performance, and Super Stopper II for instant hook setting and assured fish-playing, make the Catana RB the outstanding rear drag reel in its price class.

The Alivio RC not only has recognisable silver and blue graphics, it also has the Shimano AR-C spool for longer casting performance and comes in a single or double handle version to suit angler preference. The 3000S is a shallow spool version and will suit match anglers who want the power and casting performance of the 3000 size without an excessive line capacity. The equivalent of 3-4 ball bearings ensures smooth performance, which is enhanced further by the balance of the double handle (DH Version).

The Hyperloop RB is the entry level of the P3 range. The reel features classical styling along with high-tech features such as Super Stopper and Varispeed line lay. By turning the handle you can immediately appreciate the quality of the gears and vibration is almost eliminated by Shimano’s Dyna-Balance system. The Hyperloop also incorporates a Power Roller that keeps line twist to a minimum. The Hyperloop offers Shimano performance and reliability at a truly exceptional price.

The latest version of the popular Baitrunner XT range has received a cosmetic face lift and has been upgraded. Line management is now controlled by Aero Wrap II with 2-speed oscillation to deliver faultless line lay which in turn increases casting performance. Another improvement is the hybrid aluminium body which is stronger and lighter than the previous ‘RA’ version. Available in 6000, 8000, and 10000 sizes the Baitrunner XT-RB offers carp anglers a choice of sizes to suit personal preference at a very affordable price point.

With its midnight blue body and gun metal grey Cold Forged Aluminium main spool, the Baitrunner DL comes with a spare XT7 graphite spool as standard. Both have prodigious line capacities – 430 yards of 12lb on the 10000 and 300 yards of 10lb on the 6000 – and are powered by a Diecast Drive Gear backed by 3 Shielded Stainless Steel bearings plus a roller bearing for assured performance. Other features include Super Stopper II, Dyna-Balance, Floating Shaft II and a Power Roller to minimise line twist. The 6000 size is a favourite of specialist anglers fishing for barbel, tench, chub and bream whilst the 1000 size suits carp anglers fishing both large and small waters. The Baitrunner DL offers an excellent quality to cost ratio for carp and specialist anglers looking for a mid-priced Baitrunner.

In classic black with an XT-7 spool finished in silver, the Baitrunner ST models are packed with far more advanced features than you’d reasonably expect to find on a Baitrunner at this price point. Line lay is excellent thanks to the Varispeed oscillation which involves an oval and a square gear, computer engineered to interact perfectly. Incorporating a gutsy 4.6:1 retrieve, double handle and the equivalent of 5 ball bearings, the ST is available in both 6000 and 10000 models. If you’re looking for a quality entry-level free spool reel, look no further than the Baitrunner ST.

Since their introduction, the small sized Baitrunner DL FA reels, available in 2500 and 4000 size have opened up a whole host of freespool fishing applications never catered for by Shimano in the past. As comfortable when deadbaiting for pike or zander as they are feeder fishing for barbel or tench, these small sized freespool masters are built using the finest components and world renowned Shimano quality standards. Taking 200yds and 240yds of 6lb and 8lb line respectively, features include XT-7 body and rotor, Aluminium spool and XT-7 spare, plus Floating Shaft II.

Over the last years the DL version has started to become popular with match anglers for feeder fishing where the use of the freespool Baitrunner facility is a big advantage as it lets you pick up the rod and get it in position before engaging the drag.

Designed for lighter specimen and specialist angling, the XT combines the Baitrunner free spool facility with a silky smooth multi-disc front drag for versatile performance over a wide range of methods, from predator fishing through to carp. Possessing many technological features from the top of the range Shimano specimen reels, the XT has 4 stainless steel shielded ball bearings and a roller bearing for super smooth, reliable performance. A Cold Forged AR-C spool with Varispeed line lay makes this reel perfect for thin mono and braided lines, and offers excellent casting performance every time. With a powerful 4.8:1 retrieve ratio and Diecast gears, the XT’s might be small, but they are tough and are perfect for match feeder fishing on commercials and specialist fish on small to medium sized waters.

Available in the same sizes as the DL, but with fewer ball bearings and no spare spool the Baitrunner ST-FA is the entry level small Baitrunner. Varispeed, Super Stopper II plus XT-7 body and rotor are still among the many advanced design features included in the ST’s construction. There is only one Baitrunner - the Shimano Baitrunner - so why accept imitations when these mini-marvels are available at such an attractive price?

The 2500 size is perfect for feeder and bomb fishing on small waters when fishing for carp or other hard fighting fish whilst the 4000 size offers more versatility and power making it suitable for all general, pleasure and specialist fishing.

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4, which delivers better reel efficiency. However the most noticeable benefit is the weight saving, especially on large reels like the Baitrunner CI4+, which is 150g lighter than the original model made with XT-7 composite.

Powerful and full of the best Shimano technical innovation, the Big Baitrunner features a large AR-C spool with slow oscillation Aero Wrap II line lay. This combination ensures maximum distance casting performance.

Internally all 5 ball bearings are shielded A-RB for increased durability and the gears have been redesigned to minimise friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminium handle to the rotor. This delivers more torque and winding power making fish playing easier and delivering more control.

Available in two sizes, the Big size, with its awesome casting performance is perfect for the largest carp waters, whilst the smaller Medium version is the ideal choice for medium sized waters where casting distance isn’t the most important requirement.

A very affordable Baitrunner that’s still packed with unique Shimano performance features such as AR-C line management, cold forged aluminium spool, Baitrunner and a lightweight XT-7 body. This reel is a true workhorse which can be used for both freshwater and saltwater applications. Available in four sizes from a compact 4000 size to a powerful distance casting 12000 version to cover a wide range of preferences.

The Baitrunner D series incorporates enough power to take on the biggest of fish. Featuring an XT-7 body and rotor, one piece bail, cold forged Aluminium spool and gear, waterproof drag, shielded A-RB, maintenance port and single Biomechanical handle.

The Aero Technium 12000 XTB MGS is the ultimate distance casting reel for those who want the very best. It’s a reel designed without compromise and literally includes the best of everything Shimano has to offer in a sleek futuristic body that is finished almost totally in black with subtle chrome detailing. The magnesium and CI4+ body components produce remarkable lightness, which in turn increases rod speed when casting. The combination of the AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II and super slow oscillation (approximately 100 turns of line per full oscillation) produces the most perfect line lay and the inclusion of X-ship engineering ensures maximum cranking efficiency when playing fish. A prestigious 8 Shielded A-RB bearings, plus a roller bearing, makes this model the smoothest Shimano

‘Big Pit’ you can own and a few turns of the slim profile handle reveals it’s true pedigree. The inclusion of a line guard guarantees trouble free performance and prevents any chance of the line getting under the spool.

The Aero Technium 12000 XT-C features a lot of the same technology as the magnesium version and is an improved version of the popular XT-B version. Finished is stunning gloss black, the ‘XT-C’ has an alloy body which contains X-ship engineering, 7 Shielded A-RB bearings, plus a roller bearing. These combine to produce smooth, efficient and totally reliable fish-playing performance.

The combination of the AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II and super slow oscillation (approximately 100 turns of line per full oscillation) produces the most perfect line lay which significantly reduces line drag on the cast and the Baitrunner II spool can be easily tightened down for distance casting to prevent ‘spool slip’ under extreme pressure. The XT-C also features a line guard for protection.

The use of CI4+ delivers a substantial weight saving on the compact Ultegra body making rod speed easier to generate when distance casting. To further increase casting performance the Ultegra uses 2 Speed Slow Oscillation line lay and an AR-C spool fitted with a Shimano Baitrunner mechanism. Cold Forged gearing and X-Ship produce powerful winding performance and 5 Stainless A-RB bearings plus a Shimano Roller bearing deliver supreme smoothness.

The 14000 is supplied with 3 line reducers per spool, while the more compact 5500 is supplied with 2 reducers to cover any situation.

The Ultegra XTC comes in two sizes, a compact 5500 and a massive 14000. Both models have a Baitrunner spool and benefit from the inclusion of X-ship engineering, plus 4 Shielded A-RB bearings and a roller bearing all housed in a compact body. The result is smoothness and efficiency never seen in this price range before.

Line management is controlled with a combination of AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II plus 2-speed slow oscillation ensuring superb line lay. The 5500 is excellent for fishing the smaller waters or for long range specialist fishing. The huge 14000 is perfect for large waters where distance is a must.

The Speedcast XT-A offers exceptional casting performance thanks to combination of a Cold Forged AR-C spool and Aerowrap II. The subtle black on grey styling and Baitrunner Spool II makes the Speedcast 8000 XTA perfect reel when targeting large carp and catfish across Europe.

A gutsy 4.6:1 ratio, combined with 3 shielded stainless steel ball bearings and a roller bearing deliver a high cranking power and smooth performance. The 8000 size is a perfect balance between a long distance Big Pit casting reel and a more traditional sized specimen reel.

The Shimano Baitrunner II spool makes this reel a ‘must have’ for the modern day carp anglers on a tight budget. The Navi XT-B is the first choice for specimen anglers who want Shimano ‘Big Pit’ performance combined with market leading affordability.

The Aerlex XT-A 8000 is a great compromise for anglers wanting Big Pit distance casting performance, combined with the balance of a more traditional sized reel. Finished in understated metallic charcoal grey, with gunsmoke grey and silver components, this is a reel which will compliment any rod.

The high specification includes Aero Wrap II, with 2 speed oscillation line lay and an AR-C spool, for maximum casting performance and a 4.6:1 retrieve for powerful controlled retrieves and fish-playing. A specially designed spod version is also available for anglers who want a separate spodding reel.

Despite its understated appearance, the Beastmaster XT-A offers all of the quality you would expect from a Shimano Big Pit reel at a truly affordable price.

Featuring a Baitrunner II spool for simple free spool operation, the Beastmaster uses Varispeed to produce fantastic line lay, and an AR-C spool which improves casting performance. The lightweight XT-7 body houses quality Diecast gears, a Shielded Stainless Steel bearing plus a Roller Bearing and features Dyna-Balance to reduce reel vibration when retrieving at speed. Perfect for inexperienced carp anglers or those on a tight budget, the Beastmaster delivers totally reliable Shimano performance.

Breathtaking to look at, and then you pick it up … words cannot begin to describe the impact that a magnesium body and rotor make to this legendary reel, weighing in at a staggering 440g. The Super Slow Oscillation and Aero Wrap II work together to ensure excellent line lay which results in awesome casting performance. The gear ratio of 4.3:1 retrieves 102cm of line per crank of the biomechanical, ambidextrous, machined handle making short work of winding in from the horizon. The One Piece Bail totally eliminates line wrapping around the Power Roller and cold forged gearing ensures this reel will never let you down. The multi-disc Instant Drag facility enables a freespool to power setting in just half a turn of the front lever. With 9 shielded A-RB bearings and 1 roller bearing providing a staggering 12 ball bearing type performance this reel is one of the most advanced distance casting models in the world.

The Aero Technium XS-C features Shimano X-Ship gearing for unrivalled smoothness and efficiency, Super Slow Oscillation for outstanding line lay and a Cold Forged black aluminium AR-C spool. The combination of these features, plus the outstanding metallic visual appearance, make this model perfect for anglers wanting a high performance casting reel for either surf or long range freshwater fishing.

Fitted with an Instant Drag spool for quick adjustment, the ‘XS-C’ also features 7 Shielded Stainless A-RB bearings, a one piece SR bail arm, and a totally waterproof drag. Available in two sizes, the 6000 has a shallower spool more suited to carp fishing whilst the 10000 has a large capacity spool. The result is awesome performance for anglers who really know what they want.

The use of CI4+ delivers a substantial weight saving on the compact Ultegra body making rod speed easier to generate when distance casting. To further increase casting performance the Ultegra uses 2 Speed Slow Oscillation line lay and an AR-C spool fitted with Instant Drag for simple, ultra fast adjustment. Cold Forged gearing and X-Ship produce powerful winding performance and 5 Stainless A-RB bearings plus a Shimano Roller bearing deliver supreme smoothness.

The 14000 is supplied with 3 line reducers per spool, while the more compact 5500 is supplied with 2 reducers to cover any situation.

The big game reel that became a worldwide market leader has too many features to explain in a catalogue! It’s the solid construction, in combination with easy to use features, that is loved by the most demanding big game fishermen. A one-piece machined aluminium frame, Cold forged aluminium spool, A-RB ball bearings, 2-speed gears, Twin Disk Drag system (on 16 size), elastomere grip and much more. This reel will play and tame the biggest fish with poise. The Tiagra A reel will give you confidence in your tackle, allowing you to concentrate on catching.

Based upon a narrow body principle which equals less weight, smaller dimensions and easier handling than equivalent lever drag multipliers, Talica is truly a high-speed dream machine. Equipped with a Diecast aluminium frame, Waterproof Drag, Shielded A-RB bearings, brass gears and an aluminium spool, choose from 8, 10, 12 or 16 or the new 20 and 25lb rated twin speed versions. Line capacities range from 200 yards of 20lb to 420 yards of 40lb. A full range of single speed models are also available.

The handle on any large multiplier is an important feature. At Shimano we use two different styles depending on the model you choose. TI12 and TI16 models feature Shimanos Ergonomic Power Handle (shown on product shot below), whilst larger models are kitted out with elastomere Crank Handles (above). Both are soft to the touch and offer the maximum in both grip and comfort, whilst giving you the maximum torque when winding in that fish of a lifetime.

A powerful range of lever drag multiplier reels available with either a single or dual speed retrieve. The Tyrnos 30 is the reel currently in vogue on the British shark-angling scene. When loaded with modern, ultra-low diameter braided lines such as PowerPro, the smallest models within the Tyrnos range are proving increasingly popular with specialist anglers. The reels are small and light enough to fish comfortably all day for key species such as cod, ling and pollack, yet retain the inherent strength and high levels of engineering to comfortably handle the most powerful species available in Europe, including the likes of wreck conger, giant skate and sharks offshore in deep water.

There’s nothing we can say about our iconic TLD range of multipliers that hasn’t already been said! Wherever you fish in the world, you will find Shimano TLD reels being used by anglers in both fresh and saltwater. TLD’s are a tried and tested product which is widely regarded as being the industry standard in terms of affordable, high performance, lever drag multiplier reels. The design meets the demanding requirements of British sea anglers who typically load their reels with either monofilament or braided lines, fishing for a wide variety of species with natural baits or artificial lures at anchor or on the drift.

TLD 2-Speed are also the perfect choice for the increasing number of anglers who travel abroad to fish for the likes of Billfish, Tuna and other large, powerful and fast running species.

Quite possibly the most versatile, feature loaded and affordable multiplier reels currently available to the UK sea angler. Like the TLD, the Charter Special range of two reels has been thoroughly tried and tested over two decades by countless anglers, in fact it is unlikely that you will step aboard a British charter boat and not find an angler using a Charter Special!

Key features that have made Charter Special such a success include a unique combination of a smooth lever drag, a level wind and a centrifugal breaking system all built into a rigid corrosion free graphite frame. The reel is suited to braid or mono lines.

Boasting many features of the flagship Trinidad range, including an ultra fast 6.2:1 retrieve ( 4.9:1 on TOR50), the Torium range of reels offer unsurpassed quality and value for money. With a model to suit any European saltwater angling application requiring the use of a multiplier reel, not surprisingly Torium have become an immensely popular range. In direct response to requests from UK anglers, the Torium 14 has been engineered to include centrifugal brakes making it ideal for beach or uptide offshore fishing.

For many types of sea-angling a slower rate of retrieve is required. In these circumstances, the Tekota range is ideal with its 4.2:1 gear ratio, whilst the addition of a level wind will also appeal to anglers looking for excellent line lay. All models are also available with a line counter to help target fish feeding at specific depths.

The TR is the perfect choice for the novice angler. However this feature packed and highly affordable reel is also ideal for more experienced anglers looking to carry a second or third reel for use as a spare, or with a selection of different breaking strains or types of line. The reel features a level wind and is ideal for general downtide fishing at anchor with bait, or fishing on the drift with either bait or artificial lures.

Our DDM 9000 Beastmaster represents state-of-the-art in electric reels technology. It will amaze you with its incredible performance all contained in a compact body with a weight of just 1460 grams. Spool capacity is incredible, and can handle 1150 metres of 80 lbs Power Pro. Maximum winding strength is a massive 90kg, due to the clever construction which puts the engine inside the spool resulting in no loss of power. Also featuring 25 kg of max drag, and a max speed of 160 m/min, this reel really can tame any beast.

With the added benefit of an easy to use menu, which allows you to fish your favourite fishing style quickly. Line Learning Adjustment also gives you the chance to have a millimetric setting of fishing depth.

If you were a satisfied owner of our original DDM HP then you will understand how difficult it was to improve; however our engineers surpassed themselves designing the DDM PLAYS range.

Available in three sizes. The smaller 1000 may be compact in size but still has the guts to cope with 25 kg of winding strength and a max speed of 185 m/min.

The 4000 is more suited to larger species and features a massive 48kg of max winding strength and a speed of 160m/min.

Both reels have two A-RB bearings on either side of spool, ensuring smooth and reliable operation for years to come.

The Calcutta DC incorporates a self energising Digital Braking system which features 8 different pre-programmed braking patterns based on lure and casting types. With this technology, each of the braking patterns provides awesome control over the feeding of the line, by applying the ideal amount of braking force at critical intervals. As a result, it is possible to achieve long, accurate casts with consistent backlash control. The increased RPM’s provided by the Digital Control System allow for longer casts. At the same time, the pre-programmed braking patterns allow for easy, instant, external adjustment to cope with any situation.

These digital controlled reels have their own power station that creates electricity, which powers the magnetic brake system and therefore avoids over-runs. This reel also has a precise working drag with Dartanium washers for total control in extreme conditions. The oversized gear box ensures a better balance between rod & reel compared to “conventional” baitcasting reels.

The use of a lightweight CI4+ frame and cold forged aluminium spool makes the Chronarch CI4+ the perfect baitcasting reel for serious bass and predator fishermen. The use of X-ship with a brass pinion gear ensures making winding efficiency and strength in tough situations and the built in level wind delivers line smoothly across the spool. For smoothness and durability there are 7 shielded A-RB bearings and a roller bearing.

Moving beyond its obvious visual appeal, you’ll find that this model is feature-packed. Features include Cold Forged Aluminium drive gear, Dartanium star drag, magnesium body, double paddle handle and 4 Shielded A-RB bearings.

“The Chronarch reels have long been the choice for anglers who have taken their bass fishing to the next level, and we give them the right fishing tool to help with their success at that level.” The Chronarch E reels feature a long-list of proven Shimano features including High Efficiency Gearing and Super Stopper. For smoothness and durability, each has a shielded A-RB ball bearing, five shielded SSS bearings, and a roller clutch.

The Curado has always been one of the most popular baitcasting reels in the Shimano line-up, since it’s first introduction in 1991. The “E” version is small and light and features a Magnumlite spool, HEG and a Dartainium drag with a performance equal to that of the mighty Calais.

Delivering performance and durability, the Caenan reel does it all with style and a great price. The Caenan is packed with Aluminum Lo-Massspoolsystem,SuperStopper,EVApowerGrips,ShieldedStainless Steel bearings, and approved for the use in salt water!

Going back to when first introduced in 1995, Shimano’s Citica baitcasting have provided anglers with solid, fish-catching performance and reliability. The Citica can handle 155 yards of 10-pound test mono, or 120 yards of 50-pound PowerPro braid.

Contributing to reel smoothness, Shimano uses three stainless steel ball bearings at key stress points, and an A-RB roller bearing to eliminate any handle backplay.

The Caius is made for anglers wanting to step up to the fishing benefits of a low-profile casting reel. Available in an ‘all-around’ 6.5:1 gear ratio, the Caius has a good speed to work just about any baits, be it jigs and worms in heavy cover, or working lots of water with crankbaits and spinnerbaits. The Caius reel has three Shimano SSS ball bearings and a roller clutch to eliminate any handle backplay. Also featured is a drilled-out handled to reduce weight, a graphite frame and aluminium spool.

RODS INTRODUCTION / TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY

RODTECHNOLOGYSHIMANO PRODUCE RODS FOR ALMOST ALL FISHING STYLES AND METHODS, COVERING A WIDE RANGE OF BUDGETS. WITH A TOP�DOWN DESIGN APPROACH SHIMANO ARE CONSTANTLY PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF INNOVATION BY USING THE LATEST MATERIALS, COMPONENTS AND MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES. BELOW ARE SOME OF THE TECHNICAL FEATURES THAT SHIMANO UTILISES.

ROD MATERIALS

Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.

Shimano Low Resin Carbon uses less resin to hold the carbon fibres together. This results in lighter more responsive blanks. Low Resin Carbon is usually used on lightweight rods where balance and action are very important.

XT Carbon is used throughout the Shimano rod range. The number following the XT (XT100), denotes the quality of carbon fibre used. The higher the number, the stronger the carbon. Where different types of carbon are combined to create the required action both numbers will be shown (XT60/40).

3M™ Powerlux™ Composites is nano-silica-resin technology that enables designers to develop rods that are incredibly strong and durable, and also lighter and more sensitive. Shimano is one of the few companies in the world allowed to use 3M Powerlux.

ROD COMPONENTS AND FEATURES

Adding Biofibre reinforces the carbon fibres in all directions. This gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.

GeoFibre is a naturally derived component that provides rigidity and high tensile strength when added to rods in the lower to mid-price rod band.

Fuji are one of the leading rod component companies in the world and have a close working relationship with Shimano. Fuji guides are used extensively on Shimano rods. Fuji reel seats are also used on many high quality Shimano rods.

Shimano use PAC BAY components on salt water and freshwater rods. High quality aluminium reel seats are used on the best Shimano boat rods and lightweight Pac Bay Minima guides are becoming popular on telescopic rods.

For high quality salt water rods, Shimano often select ALPS guides and reel seats. ALPS roller guides have a reputation for excellence which perfectly matches the expectations of Shimano.

Fossil Wood is used on some Shimano reel seats. Created by compressing organic raw materials into a carbon like state using over 1000 degrees of heat, the resultant material is much stronger than wood and each component is both unique and resistant to moisture

Power Cork is tactile, ergonomic and lightweight yet it does not absorb moisture and is more resistant to bacteria. Created from natural cork, with an exclusive Shimano treatment, it does not degrade or age cosmetically. Power Cork is washable and used on many Shimano rods.

The unique SDR construction process eliminates any spine forming during manufacture, meaning the blank action remains uniform, regardless of which way the rod is bent.


LURE FISHING BECOMES EVER MORE REFINED AND SPECIALISED. NEW TECHNIQUES AND APPROACHES ARISE YEAR AFTER YEAR. SHIMANO’S SKILLED ROD DESIGNERS AND CONSULTANTS HAVE RESPONDED BY CREATING TECHNIQUE DEDICATED RODS FOR SPECIALIST ANGLERS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DROPSHOT, JIGGING, JERKING, CASTING OR REGULAR SPINNING, SHIMANO HAS A ROD TO SUIT.

Built using HPC400LRC carbon with added Biofibre the Lesath BX also features Shimano’s Steady Cast development. This feature delivers a spineless blank with reduced sideways torque, making casting more accurate. The use of lightweight Fuji SiC guides further compliments the casting performance and also improves the outstanding ‘special progressive’ playing action which is fast in the tip and parabolic in the middle section when put under pressure.

The fast tip enables you to impart life and action to lures to entice fish to attack, whilst the parabolic middle keeps you in total control when playing the fish as it delivers controlled power combined with superb shock absorbing properties.

Available in a wide range of lengths and casting weights to suit even the most demanding anglers, the Lesath BX Spinning is quite simply one of the most outstanding spinning rods in the world.

The Antares is built on a HPC200 blank with the addition of Biofibre, resulting in a fast, progressive action. The addition of Steady Cast vastly improves casting performance and ensures that your bait can be placed accurately time and time again. Fuji Alconite K-type guides help to ensure smooth, tangle free casting. Rapid heat transfer of the Alconite guides will cope easily with all types of line, giving it a longer lifespan. The natural Power Cork handle ages much slower than standard handles, making sure that the Antares DX maintains its superb performance.

The blank material is a combination of HPC100 (High Pressure Carbon) and Biofibre, making it lighter, stronger and giving it a more responsive action. Because the Speedmaster BX is stronger, to handle even larger fish, Fuji Alconite guides have been used, which are one of the strongest guides from Fuji and perfect for extreme fishing situations!

The progressive action of the Beastmaster helps to ensure easy lure presentation and great control during the fight. A lot of heat can build up on the ceramics whilst battling large predators, and this can damage the line. With the Fuji Improved Hard guides, the level of heat is dramatically reduced, vastly helping to increase the longevity of your mainline and prevent any unnecessary breakages. The optional Balance Weight enables customized rod balancing to suit you preference.

This progressive action rod is exceptionally strong due to the inclusion of Geofibre within the blank. This helps to dramatically improve casting performance and balance. Fuji Improved Hard guides reduce friction and further more allow for better casting performance and longer lifespan of your line. A stylish ergonomic reel seat finishes off this fantastic looking rod.

The Exage Spinning is built on a strong and well balanced progressive action blank. This is achieved by incorporating the use of Geofibre within its blank. All rods in the range are fitted with Fuji Improved Hard guides for superior casting performance and exceptional line guidance. This range matches perfectly with the Exage front drag reels.

The use of Geofibre in the Catana CX, combined with the progressive guide set-up, generates a superior casting performance and leaves the competition playing ‘catch-up’ in this price category. The Geofibre material in the blank creates more stiffness, maintains strength and provides an excellent fish-playing action. A Vibra Spot reel seat adds further value to this affordable range.

The Antares is built on a fast progressive action blank and the addition of Steady Cast makes sure that excellent casting performance and bait placement can be achieved. The short transport length is ideal for traveling anglers and the rigid hard case tube ensures total protection. The Fuji Alconite K-type guides give excellent line guidance and casting performance for both freshwater and saltwater conditions. The natural Power Cork grip hardly absorbs moisture and therefore ages much slower than standard cork.

With its light tip section fitted, the Beastmaster STC spinning rod measures 2.50m and is a pleasure to use with all small lures in the 7-21g class. With the fast taper tip fitted the 2.00m length has a ‘Medium heavy’ action designed for casting lures in the 14-40g class. Also, this shorter, stiffer tip configuration is excellent for working various Jerk and Twitch baits effectively. With plenty of power in the lower sections the Beastmaster Twin Tip Spinning is the ultimate tool for the traveling freshwater lure angler.

The short transport length and protective tube makes transporting the Beastmaster CX STC easy and convienient. This model features an additional 30cm extension which enables you to change the length of your rod quickly. The special progressive action, which is also a feature of Shimano high-end spinning rods, provides more control when casting and fish-playing.

TWIN TIP CONCEPTThe Beastmaster STC Twintip concept is a versatile, multi-sectioned range which combines easy transport lengths with a Twintip concept that effectively delivers two rods in one.

All models have three common sections (Handle, Butt and Middle) and separate special taper tips. The single fast taper tip fits onto the middle section to produce a shorter more powerful rod, whilst the use of the slow taper tip (plus additional section) produces a longer and more responsive action.

The white mark below the tip guide indicates lure action and bites.

The Yasei Dropshot rod is a softbait rod with a sensitive tip to ensure that any taking fish feel minimal resistance. A white sight tip helps to make sure that you don’t miss a single bite. The 1 piece 195cm rod is excellent for boat fishing and the longer 2 piece 240cm and 270cm rods are best suited to bank fishing where longer casts are necessary. The white mark below the tip guide indicates the bites.

Deadbaiting for zander is a method that requires a very delicate approach. Zander are notorious for dropping a deadbait extremely quickly if they feel resistance. This soft, parabolic actioned rod minimizes the resistance and playing zander becomes a fantastic experience. This rod pairs up superbly with a 2500 size Baitrunner reel. The white mark below the tip guide indicates the bites.

The Yasei brand has become very popular with predator anglers throughout Europe and Shimano has now added two trout models for rivers and lakes. The casting weights are designed to match the most popular trout lure weights. The short length river model has a light progressive action, whilst the longer 2.59m (8’ 8”) lake model has a medium light fast tip action for casting longer distances.

Both models have HPC100 plus Biofibre blanks, Fuji Alconite guides, Power Cork grips and Optional Balance Weights.

Fishing for Aspius is growing rapidly in popularity. This aggressive freshwater predator is a wary fish that can require the angler to be able to cast small lures great distances. The fast action, strong HPC100 blank allows you to cast with force to reach the hunting Asp, making this rod the ultimate tool for this hard fighting species. The white mark below the tip guide indicates lure action and bites.

This is a jigging technique which originated in Japan and is getting more popular in the Mediterranean. Natural bait like a shrimp is hooked on a specially designed jig head, which produces a fluttering action. The combination of this action and natural smell triggers bottom fish to feed. The rod comes in 2 models to fish all of the different sizes Shimano Tenya jigs.

Yasei Bottom Ship was developed for bottom ship fishing for predators of all sizes using Inchiku lures. The affordable cost of the Yasei Bottom Ship makes them a perfect solution for serious bottom ship anglers of all abilities.

The first Yasei rod made for the Shimano Travel Concept! The Yasei Monster is made to target bigger fish, from the bank or from the boat. The 240 is made for boat fishing, while the 315 has an extra heavy action for bank fishing. The blank is made of the special mix of HPC100 carbon and Biofibre for improved balance and strength. Finished with a Fuji DPS reel seat, Fuji Alconite guides and EVA grips, this rod is perfect for the travelling angler or those who want a rod in the car at all times.

The Yasei Seabass has been built on a super fast tapered HPC100 blank and is a true casting machine! The fast action also allows it to impart plenty of action into softbait lures to bring them to life. The rod range varies from 2.1m boat rods to 3.6m heavy shore casting rods. Finished with K-type guides, these rods are the ultimate bass fishing tool. The white mark below the tip guide indicates lure action and bites.

A fast action rod with a relatively sensitive tip for casting light weight lures a good distance. There’s a big reserve of power in the butt section to hook and play hard-fighting fish quickly. With a casting weight rating of 7-28g the Yasei Red Aspius also makes a great all round spinning rod.

Inshore spinning for cuttlefish and squid is gaining massive popularity in Europe and the Yasei Red Aori has been designed for anglers wanting to join the trend. Offering excellent value and performance, the range comprises seven rods with different lengths and casting actions to cover a wide range of lures.

The latest Yasei Red concept just wouldn’t be complete without two rods designed for the most sporting of inshore saltwater predators, the sea bass. Two lengths are available. The 2.40m, with a 7-35g casting action, is perfect for rubber lures and little poppers, whilst the longer 2.70m, with a 10-50g casting action, is more suited to larger lures and bigger hard baits like the Rapala Max Rap 15 or 17.

Particular species of fish needs specific tackle. For this reason, Shimano have developed a rod for sea trout fishing. During the development, our consultants chose a Speedmaster blank, well known for its fast response. The one selected has a XT100 blank with Biofibre and top level components like Fuji guides and a Power Cork handle. A special rod made for specialists!

Constructed on XT60 carbon with added Biofibre blanks with spigot joints and Shimano guides, the S.D.R blank keeps you in touch with everything that’s happening beneath the waves. All are two-piece, finished with EVA rear and front grips.

The sea bass is a very popular hard fighting fish, which many anglers are now targeting. The Vengeance AX range, with its relative short length, is designed for boat fishing and has a very fast action and stiff backbone which can easily cast small and big lures. The responsive tip action allows you to give the lure the correct swimming action to promote aggressive strikes.

The Lesath BX Power Game is an improved version of the AX introduced few years ago. The rod benefits from a very reactive and fast recovering blank with a sensitive tip, thanks to the best Shimano technologies and 3M Powerlux material used in its construction.

A superb range of high quality specialist lure rods that have been purpose designed and built to meet the highly demanding requirements of the modern lure angler. Ideal for either fresh or saltwater use, Speedmaster spinning rods are built using high quality components like HPC 100 carbon with added Biofibre and Fuji guides to ensure they meet your expectations.

The Beastmaster STC Shore-Boat rod is the ultimate sea spinning rod and caters for both shore and boat fishing situations. Its longest 3.00m length is well suited to casting from the shore or from rocks, whilst its shorter 2.40m length means that you can comfortably take to a boat and you can rely on your own rod when booking a charter boat. This rod is more than capable of casting various hardbaits, softbaits and even jigs great distances, making it a versatile all round rod for the traveling salt water lure angler.

The Beastmaster Powergame has been designed for the travelling big salt water fish angler in mind. It’s XT-60 and Biofibre blank is extremely strong and more than capable of coping with the aggressive power associated with salt water lure fishing. At its longest length, the 2.50m length is designed for casting large hardbaits great distances. The shorter and more powerful 2.00m length is designed for fishing deeper and vertically with bait or jigs. With the combination of these two tips, you are able to have every eventuality covered.

The Wild Romance Attraction rods are designed to cast and work softbaits with full control during dead-drift action. A mixture of HPC300 carbon with Biofibre and Steady Cast technology achieves a fast action with a very sensitive tip and powerful butt section. Sensitivity is further increased by a full set of abrasion resistant, lightweight and tangle-free Fuji alconite K type guides. The outfit is completed by an elegant and strong Fossil Wood reel-seat.

The Wild Romance Ferocious Solid has been designed to cast jerkbaits and stickbaits long distance and still animate them with great precision and sensitivity. It is also more than capable of working soft plastic lures effectively as well. During the development stages, everything was considered to provide the best performance and this was achieved using HPC300 carbon mixed with Biofibre. This combination dramatically enhances the strength and also makes the rod much lighter. The addition of Steady Cast technology helps to cut-down on any unwelcome vibration when casting.

Power Game rods are powerful enough to fish from shore. They can cast a 28g Max Rap a long way and then fight and land large sea bass from rocky shores. Shore fishermen often need to reach a long distance where the predators are situated, and have a long leader for a better presentation of the bait. The distance you will achieve with these rods will definitely let you cover more fish.

Spinning for Bluefin tuna needs a compromise between a soft tip and brute force. Tuna often feed on very small prey (anchovies from 4 to 10cm in length) and do not attack large lures. You will often need to cast a lure less than 40g a long way, and then have enough power to fight one of the strongest fish in the ocean. The Pelagic Offshore rod has been designed specifically to solve this difficult equation, a soft tip to cast a long way and a strong butt to fish with 10kg of drag. This rod is also great for light Tropical fishing with a line rating up to 65lbs.

With baggage allowances for flights getting more restrictive, there is huge demand for rods that take up very little room and neatly fit into a suitcase. This is where the Wild Romance STC Pelagic Offshore comes in. Its 4 piece construction and hard carry case makes it extremely easy to transport. Created using a HPC300 blank, enriched with Biofibre, the Pelagic boasts great strength and has more than enough power to cast large hardbaits and jigs up to 100g great distances.

This In shore version is specially designed for bluewater fish either fishing from a boat or from the shore. The rod can easily cast a surface popper or a metal jig rigged with a Mitraillette®. The Aluminium reel seat and gimbal will allow you to put some serious pressure on your hooked fish using the full action of the HPC300 carbon blank. For improved casting performance this model features Shimano’s Steady Cast technology and Fuji Alconite guides.

STAINLESS STEEL BUTT CAPSAcross the range certain rods are fitted with Tribal engraved stainless steel butt caps so that they look like new even after years of use.

HPC CARBON BLANKSHPC (High Pressure Carbon) is an exclusive Shimano process which increases blank strength considerably. Pressure is applied to the blank when curing, forcing the resin through the carbon matrix evenly. This reduces weak spots and improves overall strength.

50MM BUTT GUIDESUltra light 50mm Silicon Carbide guides are available on all Tribal carp, spod and marker rods. This increases casting distance and limits ‘frap-ups’ that can occur when fishing at extreme range. 50mm guides are perfectly suited to Shimano Super Slow oscillation reels.

ANTI�WRAP TIP GUIDESLightweight Anti-Wrap 16mm Silicone Carbide Tip guides are better for distance casting and fishing in weedy conditions. The reduced weight also improves tip recovery on the cast. Shimano Anti Wrap guides do not have a weld at the back of the frame.

PROTECTIVE LINE CLIPSSpecially developed ‘soft touch’ line clips are fitted to Tribal rod to ensure that line is never damaged when placed behind the clip.

SAFETY ROD STOPPERA small abbreviation behind the reel seat locks the rod behind the rear rest ensuring it is not pulled in on a blistering take.

INTENSITY VERSIONSAny rod that bares the Intensity name is the result of fine tuning the blank in order to achieve the maximum possible casting distance performance. Components and areas of the blank have been stripped of weight to increase tip speed and recovery. Areas that receive critical amounts of pressure are strengthened to tolerate even the most aggressive casting techniques. The result is a finely tuned casting machine.

A super secure reel seat stops any movement, even on the most strenuous casts, plastic line clip, 3K strengthening carbon weave, anti-wrap tip ring, Tribal bug engraved stainless steel butt caps and the obligatory 50mm butt ring also feature on this outstanding model.

The XS1 is the result of extensive testing to produce one of the slimmest but most responsive rods available today. technology has enabled Shimano to produce a blank that will instantly recover after the cast, contributing to distance and accuracy whilst retaining a perfect playing curve.

The powerful 3K carbon blanks and reel seat combine strength and lightness, while the slightly tapered detail of the rear grip, stainless engraved butt cap and understated graphics sets this rod off from the competition in the looks department.

This rod range combines beauty and strength with cutting edge technology. The 3K strengthening weave is also incorporated in a new design reel seat keeping weight to a minimum and offering the lightest blank possible combined with almost unbelievable power. The individual rod actions are specifically designed for there quarry, whether it’s the responsive 2.75lb all round version or a 3.25lb distance caster. The addition of an Anti-wrap tip guide reduces the chance of “crack offs” on the cast.

Incorporating a diamond power weave and compact NPS reel seat, this five rod range has been specially developed for the continental carp angler. The resin line clip stops any damage caused to the line and the Anti Wrap tip guide limits any problems on the cast. Extremely responsive HPC200 blanks maximize casting distance.

Available in 50mm or 40mm versions, and built on some of the slimmest blanks available at the price point, the Tribal Velocity is an outstanding rod. A 3K strengthening weave has been incorporated to maximise strength. Actions differ, depending on the test curve, the 12ft 2.75lb version being a more progressive fish playing rod and the 13ft 3.50lb designed to accurately cast leads extreme distances.

A through action 11ft version is specially designed for the day ticket angler where shorter distance casting is required. The shorter length of this model vastly improves casting accuracy, gives more control in confined swims and allows the angler to net fish closer in.

The Tribal Stalker 9ft has been designed with reserves of hidden power. Close quarter battles can be very severe experiences and a rod that bottoms out usually results in lost fish. Having extra reserve power to use means you are always in control.

These short 9’ rods (2.74m) rods are perfect for close range stalking in heavy bank side cover and feature lots of raw power to control big carp when fishing close to snags. The Biofibre added to the carbon blanks ensure these rods are up to the most extreme ‘hook and hold’ situations.

Two versions are available, the Longcast version (TLCS9) is a four sectioned rod with a short transport length and a slightly modified action for casting to seen fish that may be away from the margins. The standard (TCS9) version is a two piece rod with a parabolic action

Developed with a super fast casting action making this one of the best distance floater rods available, the Tribal Intensity Floater is slim, light, strong and supplied with an Aero Quiver Rod Sleeve.

The fast action and soft tip makes the Tribal Floater the perfect rod for punching controllers extreme distances. The power in the butt of this floater rod also simplifies mending line and setting the hook at range. The 3K weave cosmetics match the Tribal rod range

This model has been designed for carp anglers fishing surface baits, when lighter casting weights are used and a quick strike is often required to hook the fish.

Built on 100 HPC carbon blanks, the Tribal Carp Floater comes in two models. Both are the same length and test curve, but the Longcast (TLCFL model) version has a different blend of carbons for increased casting performance. The relatively soft test curves are perfect for close range work or when using small hooks to fool wary surface feeding carp.

The Tribal Intensity Spod and Marker models are both produced from slim HPC 200 carbon with added Biofibre blanks and are available in 12’ 6” (3.81m) lengths. Additional 3k strengthening weave has been added to the butt section and tip section joint and both have shrink tube split rubber grips.

The powerful Spod rod has a 5.5lb test curve which can handle the largest spods and cast huge distances. The Marker model has an increased diameter tip ring for increased sensitivity. Both models are designed for distance work and offer outstanding, reliable performance.

The Tribal Carp Spod is built on a tough HPC 100 carbon with added Biofibre blank and is remarkably light for such a powerful rod. The 12’ length provides versatile performance and the special taper action maximises casting performance whilst delivering reassuring power, even with the largest spods. The cosmetics match all of the rods in the Tribal family.

Designed with distance in mind the Tribal Spod models can launch large spods 100 metres. Test curves have been increased slightly for more power and combined with a progressive action the blank can be compressed more easily than other high end models. Graphics match all of the Tribal carp rods and the 3K Strengthening weave limits any possibility of breakage.

Both the standard and distance versions of the Tribal Marker rods have an increased tip diameter. After intensive testing, it was found that the increased diameter magnified sensitivity through the rod making identifying gravel, silt or weed easier. The cosmetics of the marker rods match all of the rods in the Tribal family.

Clearly recognised for their strength, the Beastmaster range also features an SDR spineless construction which eliminates blank twist. Removing the torsion in a rod blank dramatically improves casting accuracy and delivers a faultless playing action - features that competitors can only offer at top end prices. The styling has taken a retro twist with a simple carbon and silver look.

Understated graphics, a slim reel seat and quality lined guides positioned for maximum casting performance, the kind of features you would expect on a ‘top of the range’ specimen rod. That’s what the Vengeance AX Specimen offers at a remarkably affordable price. For value for money this rod really takes some beating. Great looks, great features and a great price.

Cork handles are making a comeback on the specimen carp rod scene, and few if any will rival our Vengeance rods. Geofibre-powered blanks with Shimano reel seats and hardlite guides figure on all three models – 1¾lb, 2 ¾ and 3lb test curve. The 13ft is the perfect affordable distance floater rod.

Alivio Specimen carp rods are designed for anglers on a small budget but feature many of the hallmarks of more expensive models including a protective line clip, a 40mm Shimano Hardlite butt guide and DPS-type reel seat. Featuring great casting and playing actions, with cool looking understated cosmetics, the Alivio is perfect for two or three rod set ups without costing the earth. There are 10 models to choose from including four 3 piece options and Marker and Spod rod options.

The Trotter is a fast tapered, well balanced rod which makes float control on rivers much easier than when using shorter Match type rods. The soft tip section means this rod is suitable for small hooks and light lines, although the fast action means there is plenty of power in the butt which enables it to be used with confidence for larger fish like chub and barbel.

The Allround Float is exactly what it says, the perfect all rounder. It can be used on commercial waters fishing for hard fighting carp, but also has the finesse required to cast delicate floats up towards lily pads on a misty summer’s dawn, when fishing for tench and shy biting Crucians. In testing, it also performed beautifully on the smaller rivers, trotting stick floats for roach, dace and even big chub.

‘Brench’ was born out of the names of two species; Bream and Tench. Both reach impressive sizes of over 10lb, often inhabiting large, deep and weedy gravel pits which present a real challenge to anglers targeting them. A fast tip action on this two-piece rod assists distance casting. Features include Shimano reel seat, cork handle, carbon line clip and ten quality guides.

This ‘go-anywhere’ rod can be used with confidence on rivers, drains and lakes of all sizes. More than just another multi-length rod, its parabolic action and dual length facility (thanks to a one foot extension) are further boosted by the inclusion of two different strength Avon top sections, Shimano reel seat, cork handle plus carbon line clip.

The River Feeder is a pleasure to use when feeder fishing or link legering on small to medium sized rivers. Ideal for shy feeding roach and dace in the winter, or sorting out the larger specimens when using a maggot feeder for big chub and barbel in the summer, this rod will cope with most situations and has a superb through action. The assortment of tips ensures you’ll have the perfect indication no matter what the conditions.

The STC Avon Quiver is a six sectioned rod which is ideal for keeping in the car for opportune sessions. The through action is not compromised at all by its multi-piece construction, and as well as an Avon top there is also a quivertip top for finer bite registration. The versatile nature of this rod makes it perfect for a wide range of species and situations encountered on rivers and still waters.

On larger waters where longer casts, heavier payloads and stronger flows present a different challenge to Purist anglers seeking Barbel. The Purist Multi Barbel Power’s 2lb test curve keeps you in control of all these demands, whilst still retaining a sweet playing action to tire out and defeat big fish. Fixtures and fittings are the same high grade as the lighter Classic version. The extra foot extension, which is removable whilst fishing, offers that little extra length to keep line out of the water.

Barbel are part and parcel of most all-round specialist anglers’ agenda. Some of the biggest known Barbel dwell in narrow rivers where casting heavy weights and countering strong flows are not an issue. It’s a common mistake to fish with too powerful a rod which lacks the correct playing action. With cork/Duplon grip and Shimano reel seat, the 1½lb test curve Purist Barbel Classic is ideal for such situations, providing two length options plus quivertip and Avon top sections.

Fishing for Perch, Pike and Chub with tiny lures and spinners is a growing part of the all-rounder’s armoury, tempting specimens from the most unsuspecting waters. The Creek Critter is the perfect weapon on Canals, small rivers and lakes, its spliced solid carbon tip enables pinpoint accurate casts, to get in between the most awkward snags where the best fish hide.

A beefier rod for larger lures and heavier predators on bigger deeper waters, the Pikey Poker is another tremendous inclusion to the Purist range. Designed to withstand heavy duty use and abuse from boat or bank, its part cork-part Duplon handle carries a Shimano plate reel seat while seven quality guides ensure smooth passage of line or braid.

Equipped with Shimano trigger reel seat, Duplon grip, seven quality guides plus hook keeper, the Little Ripper is a jerkbait angler’s best friend. Built to perform time after time in the most demanding predator fishing situations.

The Apex Predator is the mother of all predator rods. Built to tame monster fish, it handles equally well with smaller specimens too. The Apex can be fished at 10ft or 11.5ft. The shorter version is perfect boat fishing, stalking or casting lures. When used at is longer length it can be used on rivers, medium range on lakes when the extra length aids setting the hooks. A powerful through action rod with a reserve of power should you need it.

Deadbaiting remains the No.1 tactic for predator anglers, and the sheer numbers of big pike which fall to this approach each season justify its enduring popularity. The 12ft 2¾lb Classic is the lighter of two deadbait rods in the Purist range. Features include cork/duplon handle, Shimano reel seat, six perfectly spaced and sized guides plus hook keeper and carbon line clip.

On waters where pike lay further from the bank, the 12ft 3lb Distance rod will prove to be a better option than the 2¾lb Classic for the deadbait angler. Likewise if larger baits such as Mackerel and Herring are the choice, it’s extra power propels them further on the cast, without fear of overloading the rod or ripping the hooks out. The high grade fixtures are otherwise identical to the Classic.

SHIMANO COMMERCIAL RODS HAVE BUILT UP SOMETHING OF A CULT FOLLOWING OVER THE YEARS, AND ARE USED BY MANY TOP ANGLERS. DESIGNED TO PRODUCE THE BEST POSSIBLE ACTION, THE SPEEDMASTER AND BEASTMASTER MODELS ALSO FEATURE COLOUR ROD BANDS FOR CLEAR IDENTIFICATION.

COMMERCIAL RODS

The Commercial range of feeder rods with a red band for identification have built up a loyal following. The range starts off with quite possibly the ultimate commercial angler’s tool - the iconic multi length 9’-11’ Feeder available in both Speedmaster and Beastmaster. The 11’6” Feeder in both Speedmaster and Beastmaster has been specifically designed for more casting performance. The 12’6 Beastmaster Distance Feeder has been designed specifically for the long range fishing on man-made ‘Commercial’ waters and combines power with a great playing action.

Feeder - Red

With carp getting bigger in Commercial fisheries, no range would be complete without power models and the Beastmaster range doesn’t disappoint with two options. The 12’ Power Float is ideal for everything from large pellet wagglers, splasher wagglers and conventional float work for big carp in the margins. For anglers who want even more power there’s the Beastmaster Bagging Waggler. This power packed 12’ rod can cast 30g floats with ease and control large carp easily, making it the perfect rod for larger waters which contain larger than average carp.

Heavy - Green

Pellet waggler fishing has become the tactic of the last few years, and we at Shimano have come up with two rods for the job. Firstly the multi length 9-11 in both Speedmaster and Beastmaster which, when assembled at 9’, gives you the perfect rod for swims where space is tight and the fish are just out of pole range. At 11’, it’s a rod that really can cope with anything. The 11’6 model offers that little bit more in terms of casting distance, whilst also having a little bit more in power to cope with bigger Commercial water carp. Put quite simply there’s nothing the 11’6 can’t do.

Speedmaster Commercial offers the best rods possible for modern match carp fishing methods. There are three different styles of rod, each designed with a specific use in mind - Pellet Wagglers and Feeders.

All make use of our exclusive HPC (High Pressure Carbon) manufacturing process. The result of this is a range of rods that are light, slim and perfectly balanced with an almost elastic fish-playing action. All rods are two piece and can be transported made up in rod sleeves.

The Beastmaster Commercial range is made using XT carbon with Biofibre. This makes the rods even more responsive and considerably lighter than before, whist retaining the famous fish-playing action. There are two Pellet Waggler rods, three Feeder models which come with two separate built-in quivertip tops and a Heavy Action float model for larger floats and bigger carp.

All Beastmaster Commercial rods come in two equal sections for made-up transportation.

For anglers on a tight budget the Forcemaster Commercial offers great value. There are three float and three feeder models to choose from. All have forgiving fish-playing actions and offer versatile performance, backed by one of the biggest brands in fishing.

THE TECHNOLOGY AND MATERIALS USED IN SHIMANO POLES IS SOME OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD, PRODUCING POLES WHICH ARE WELL BALANCED, STRONG AND TOTALLY RELIABLE. THE ADDITION OF GEN X AND GEN Z CONCEPTS MAKES SHIMANO POLES VERSATILE AND OUTSTANDING VALUE FOR MONEY.

POLES

Whether it’s catching 100lb plus of carp on a commercial, or a net of small silver fish on the canal or river, this pole really can do it all and then some. Featuring Shimano’s GEN X Concept and using state of the art HPC500LRC with added Biofibre, if you are in the market for a new flagship pole then the Aspire Ultra is one you can’t afford to miss. A Shimano Super Slik finish delivers effortless shipping in all weathers, Aero Joint reduces wear and sticking, and Reinforced Joint dramatically reduces wear of the joints used the most - especially on the number 3 and 4 sections. Rated to 20 elastic, making it suitable for match carp fishing, the Aspire Ultra has wide bore tips which require little or no cutting back to fit fine and medium elastics and a package to match any on the market.

Through the application of a unique high grade of carbon, that is lighter yet more resistant to wear and tear than normal woven carbon, Aero Joint boosts the speed of unshipping, reduces the chance of the joint sticking, especially in the wet, and decreases the chance of damage.

The perfect matt finish for a pole. The silky smooth surface makes it easier to ship the sections of your pole. Because there’s no sanding process involved, the carbon fibres stay intact and no matt paint is needed, therefore saving weight. In this process a layer is formed on the outer surface, which protects the fibres from damage when scratched.

POLE TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY

Shimano Alignment system (S.A.S.) is a system to optimise the pole action. During production, the backbone of each section is found and marked. When assembled according to the S.A.S marks you get a stiffer performance.

Available on some Shimano poles, this unique process results in a finish

that is silky smooth for almost frictionless shipping and unshipping in both hot and wet conditions. It also provides great grip for breaking down sections and playing fish.

The Carp Cruncher is the ultimate commercial fishery pole. Rated for 20 plus elastics, it is equally at home targeting carp in the margins, or fishing at full length up in the water. Designed so that the top 5 is interchangeable with the Gen X high-end pole series, the Carp Cruncher uses the Gen Z Concept and has been a huge hit since its launch. Featuring HPC250 carbon with added Biofibre for strength, it also includes a lot of the latest Shimano technology including S.A.S. Reinforced Joint and Ultra Sound Sanding.

The Exage is a true all rounder with enough power to handle commercial fishery carp, combined with the finesse required to build a catch of roach or skimmers on a canal or lake. The Exage is also part of the Gen Z Concept and features HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology. A truly outstanding pole for the money, with a spares package to match.

The Shimano Technium 1300 offers fantastic value combined with quality and strength which probably explains why this has been one of Shimano’s most popular poles since its launch. Designed using Shimano Gen Z Concept, the Technium 1300 is strong enough for carp with heavy elastics, but light and stiff enough for all general fishing.

TROUT STICK

The Beastmaster CX Trout/Zander features a blank made from High Pressure Carbon and Biofibre. This makes it lighter, stronger, more responsive and very shock resistant. The rod has a parabolic action, ideal for trout or zander fishing with spinning or float fishing techniques, with casting weights across the range of up to 40grams giving it unrivalled versatility.

Trout/Zander

The sensitive tip action of this rod is ideal for fishing with small deadbaits for zander, as well as targeting trout with natural and dough baits. The sensitive tip action can make a big difference between hooking a fish and missing a bite, as early bite registration helps strike before the fish is alarmed. This well balanced range is built on a slim XT30 blank with a slim ergonomic reel seat and comfortable cork handle.

Trout/Zander NEW

The Catana Shaking Trout has been designed for catching trout using Trigger X baits. The special action of the rods allows the best possible bait presentation for catching trout in commercial lakes. Built on responsive XT40 carbon blanks with added Geofibre.

TROLLING RODS

The Tiagra Ultra A Trolling is built using 3M™ Powerlux™ silica nano technology which produces an ultra thin, lighter blank, with all the strength required from a top trolling rod. A unique new generation woven carbon fibre butt also adds to a dramatic weight saving. The models up to 20lb line rating have ultra strong single leg Alps RX roller guides, with the heavier models having the double leg version. The Tiagra Ultra also features the new Shimano Twist Control feature which reduces rod twist when playing fish keeping the guides aligned correctly for a perfect line guidance.

The Tiagra XTR-B Trolling is the second generation of the successful XTR family. It has a HPC250 carbon blank mixed with Biofibre for strength, but now includes HPC technology, which results in lighter and thinner blanks. The result is a more responsive rod in the Mediterranean fishing spirit. Guides for the models up to 20lbs are Fuji SiC made exclusively for Shimano, for the 30 to 50lbs rods Shimano rollers are used, which work on our famous A-RB ball bearing.

The Tyrnos Trolling range offers incredibly strong but lightweight blanks designed to cover a wide range of styles and demands. From the lightest 20lb to the strongest 80lb model all Tyrnos rods have a progressive action that keeps you in total control. The cosmetics perfectly match the Shimano Tyrnos reel. Guides on the 20 & 30 version are ALPS and the 50 & 80 are equipped with Shimano rollers. All models have a Pac Bay reel seat. From inshore trolling to open water, the Tyrnos Tolling offers a rod for all styles and sizes of blue water fish.

Shimano never stops developing processes, products and components and the TLD Trolling features many of these. An example are the roller guides fitted to the 50 and 80 model which cope with hardest conditions. The glassfibre butt reduces the rods weight considerably and the XT60 carbon with added Biofibre makes the TLD extremely strong. With a similar progressive action to Tiagra Ultra and Tyrnos, the TLD range is outstanding.

STAND�UP

The ultra thin, strong and lightweight Tiagra Ultra A Standup is build from a carbon fibre exclusive to Shimano. This new material, combined with 3M™ Powerlux™ technology, reduces the overall weight dramatically and improves the feel and action of the rod when playing fish.

From 30-50lb the rod is fitted with Alps RX double leg roller guides, whilst the lighter models have the single leg version. The twist control feature keeps the blank from twisting, allowing the line to run smoothly through the guides at all times.

The Tiagra XTR-B Stand Up has a HPC250 carbon blank mixed with Biofibre for strength, which results in lighter and thinner blanks. The result is a more responsive rod in the Mediterranean fishing spirit. Guides for the 12-20lbs and 20-30lbs models are Fuji SiC made exclusively for Shimano, for the 30-50lbs and 50-80lbs rods Shimano rollers are used, which work on our famous A-RB ball bearing. The Long models are equiped with ALPS roller guides. All models feature a Pac Bay aluminium reel seat.

The stunning cosmetics give the Tiagra XTR-B a distinctive look.

Designed for the demands of Mediterranean anglers. All models are very light with progressive action blanks made using HPC (High Pressure Carbon).

Using XT60 and Biofibre, the TLD Stand-up is a strong partner for your stand-up boat angling. Featuring Shimano Hardlite guides (and Shimano roller guides on the R versions), the progressive action of the TLD Standup is similar to higher end models in the range making this rod the perfect choice for all anglers.

Any rod with the Beastmaster name has to be tough….tough enough to deal with any situation and anything that swims - and the Beastmaster Surf proudly upholds the tradition. With an action that flows seamlessly from tip to butt delivering the power as and when you need it - distance and terrain are no object. Available in both fixed spool and multiplier models and supplied with Shimano’s Slide’n’Grip reel seat as standard.

Surf

The Beastmaster name has a huge following in all different kinds of Shimano rod ranges and this surf rod will appeal to the ledgering beach specialist. Built on HPC100+ Biofibre carbon blanks the Beastmaster Surf is supplied with 2 tips that are all capable of casting up to 120g (4oz) and offer sensitive bite registration when fishing for flounder, flatfish, mullet and bass on shallow surf beaches around Europe.

Beach

The Nexave offers a great combination of quality and value. Built on a XT60 carbon blank, with Shimano Hardlite guides, the 11’6” (3.51m) length is perfect for a wide range of fishing styles including lighter line work. The semi-parabolic action casts weights from as light as 1oz (30g) up to 4oz (120g) and has enough low-down power to cast comfortably in excess of 60m if required. Perfect for bass, flatties and eels.

Estuary

The Vengeance Estuary offers outstanding value for anglers wanting a specialist rod without spending too much money. Ideal for close and medium range work, using a wide range of lead sizes up to 4oz (120g), the Vengeance is built on an XT30 carbon blank with added Geofibre, and fitted with Shimano Hardlite guides. The parabolic action of this rod enables it to be used with light lines and small hooks when required, whilst still retaining the power to cope with running tides. A screw reel seat and EVA handle give this model a look of quality.

LUGGAGETHE RANGES OF SHIMANO LUGGAGE HAVE SOME OF THE MOST RADICAL AND GROUNDBREAKING DESIGNS EVER SEEN IN THE ANGLING INDUSTRY. JUST LIKE OUR RODS AND REELS, GREAT CARE AND ATTENTION HAS BEEN PAID TO THE NEEDS OF ANGLERS. WITHIN THE RANGES, INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN CREATED WITH THE SPECIFIC AIM TO MEET THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF SPECIALIST AND SPECIMEN ANGLERS ALIKE.

The Organised Compact Design system allows the angler to choose from numerous specialised accessory cases that fit, jigsaw-like into one of the many compatible carryalls. The gives the option to change them around for specific venues or the length of time fishing.

The Aero Quiver system is simply based around an adjustable strap that components can be clipped onto. This offers countless variations, giving the angler the option to take as little or much tackle as they wish. This includes ready-made rods, nets, pods, shelters, mats, slings and many more items throughout the carp and specialist ranges.

Power Stitching is widely used throughout the Shimano luggage range. This involves double stitched seams which produce increased strength at all the major stress areas ensuring longevity and reducing the chance of failure.

The Duralast Zippers can handle the most extreme abuse to ensure Shimano luggage lives up to the expectations of the most demanding anglers. Duralast Zippers have been thoroughly tested for strength and easy of use.
