Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Casting Rod

Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Casting Rod

Made for those who need the convenience of a travel rod but refuse to compromise on quality, the Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Rods set a new standard for multi-piece rod performance. Now available in a 5-piece travel pack, anglers can now bring the high performance technology of the Shimano Zodias with them in pursuit of their bucket list catches.

The newest generation of Shimano Zodias incorporates state-of-the-art technologies passed down from Shimano's elite series of rods, along with all the original features that have made the Zodias a favorite among tournament anglers. Now featuring a Carbon Monocoque handle system, the new and improved Zodias sheds even more weight and achieves 30% more sensitivity than rods with traditionally constructed handles. Returning to the blue print is the CI4+ reel seat, which is widely agreed upon to be one of the most comfortable, sensitive reel seats available on a bass rod. Both of these features combine to more efficiently transmit vibrations through the rod and into the anglers hands, giving them a more precise reading of lure action, composition of structure, and bites. Also returning is the Hi-Power X rod blank technology, where an outer layer of carbon tape tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions for enhanced torsional rigidity and heightened responsiveness. Hi-Power X blanks are revered for their ability to provide much more accurate casts by reducing blank twist and ovalization, while providing precise power transfer and control when fighting a fish. Fitted with a comfortable EVA mid-grip and Fuji K Alconite Guides, the new Shimano Zodias picks up right where the original left off by offering best-in-class performance for serious tournament anglers.
