Shimano Tribal Supressa 40mm Butt Rod

Shimano Tribal Supressa Rods, Available in 30mm, 40mm and 50mm butt versions, the mid price range Supressa combines beauty and strength with cutting edge technology. A 3K strengthening weave is incorporated in the new design reel seat keeping weight down to a minimum and offering exceptional power. The individual rod actions are specifically designed for their intended use, from the responsive 'small water' 11ft 2.75lb all-round version, to the 13ft 3.5lb distance model. The addition of the anti-wrap tip guide reduces the chance of crack-offs on the cast. High Pressure Carbon: During the heating process of any rod or pole the resin can be pushed to the surface of the blank which may cause an uneven distribution, resulting in weak spots. With High Pressure Carbon (HPC), pressure is applied to the blank during the heating process, forcing the resin to remain inside and ensuring an even spread. The result is amazing, creating a blank which can be up to 40% stronger than blanks made without HPC. Biofibre: Adding Biofibre reinforces the carbon fibres in all directions. This gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.
