Shimano Speedmaster AX Boat Slim Rods

Shimano Speedmaster AX Boat Slim Rods, In the past, if you had asked a non-sea fishing angler to describe sea fishing, chance are one of the phrases that would have sprung to mind would have been ‘heavy, bulky equipment’. For a long time this phrase would have been accurate, with good reason too! Whether fishing from a boat or from the shore, sea fishing anglers had to contend with strong tides, currents, and hard fighting fish. This meant that the fishing tackle companies had to produce tackle that could stand up to these difficult conditions. Whilst the conditions might not have changed tackle technology certainly has and, as per usual, Shimano is leading the way in terms of sea fishing tackle innovation. The Speedmaster AX Slim Boat Rod is the result of this new innovation. Refined and honed to perfection, the Speedmaster AX Slim is the perfect rod for the angler looking to spend a long and enjoyable day boat fishing. Constructed from XT100 carbon fibre, the rod blank is not only incredibly strong and highly durable but also exceptionally lightweight. This makes it a pleasure to use and allows the angler to use their full strength when casting or retrieving, rather than wasting unnecessary energy simply trying to lift and hold the rod in position. The blank is fitted with top quality Fuji stainless steel guides. This makes the Speedmaster AX Slim perfect for use with a braid as well as a mono – ideal for the modern day boat angler who likes to keep their line options open. The reel seat is also by Fuji – once again ensuring quality – and any Shimano sea fishing reel will balance perfectly on the blank to create the dream sea fishing outfit. An EVA grip on the handle finishes the Speedmaster AX Slim and ensures that you’re able to handle those hard fighting big fish when they take.
