Shimano Scimitar AX Spinning Rod

Shimano Scimitar AX Spinning Rod

Shimano has long been committed to manufacturing angling essentials for anglers of all ages, abilities and budgets. Indeed, ever since the first premium Shimano reel hit the market in 1970 Shimano has worked hard to ensure that, no matter the size of your wallet, all anglers are able to use its top quality fishing tackle. This Scimitar AX Spinning rod has been designed with this ethos in mind and, indeed, has been purpose built to help the inexperienced angler grow and develop their skills.

The blank is constructed from Shimano’s killer combination of XT40 and Geofibre. This combination of materials relies on the natural strength of carbon and the natural properties of Geofibre to fuse together to create an extraordinarily strong and precisely actioned rod. Despite the entry-level price of this rod and because of the intelligent material choices made in the construction of the blank, the Scimitar AX Spinning rod has a crisp Japanese style tip action. This enables you to achieve an increased lure action – perfect for those anglers looking to hone their lure fishing skills.

Shimano’s Hardlite guides have graced many Shimano rods and this Scimitar AX Spinning is no different. Hardlite is created by coating stainless steel with an aluminium oxide, which makes it the perfect guide for use with both monofilament and braided fishing lines – giving you the ultimate versatility of choice down on the bank.

Suitable for a wide range of spinning techniques, the Scimitar AX Spinning is ideal for the angler looking to experiment with their lure fishing style and is perfect for the junior or novice angler looking to learn more about lure fishing. At 6ft 11” in length, this rod is perfect for use on small waters or in locations with restricted space – or for younger and smaller anglers hoping to reel in their first catch!
