Shimano - Zodias Casting Spinning Rod

The hugely popular Zodias is part of the exclusive Shimano JDM range and combines advanced design, fast actions and leading carbon technology with mid-priced affordability. This visually impressive range opens up many possibilities for the serious lure angler.
Originally designed and developed in Japan for bass fishing, you’ll instantly recognise how suitable the Zodias is for light and medium European predator fishing. Light in your hand and wonderfully balanced, the inclusion of Shimano’s exclusive Monocoque handle enhances feel and responsiveness, transmitting every knock and twitch directly into your hand. Yet when you hook into a fish, the hidden power really comes into its own, delivering control and forgiveness in equal measures.
Shimano’s Hi-Power X technology lies at the heart of Zodias rods and increases the transfer of energy through the rod, for enhanced accuracy and casting distance, as well as reduced blank twist for better control when fighting fish. The inclusion of a Carbon Monocoque rear grip and custom designed CI4+ reel seat increases sensitivity, giving remarkable feedback when in use. Top quality Fuji guides further add to the quality of this high performance range. The ULS2 model features a TAFTEC ALPHA carbon tip for ultra sensitivity. From the lightest Ultra Light Spinning models, perfect for Drop Shot and light lure fishing, through to the Heavy action Casting models designed for heavy shads, Crankbaits and Spinner Baits, there are 7 Spinning and 6 Casting models to cover all of your fishing.
Danny Parkins - I’ve been using the BFS2 version for all my ultra light work such as NED rigging, small Jigs and cranks on my local canals and rivers. It has a crisp yet forgiving action which is great for the likes of powerful river Perch and Chub with light leaders! The blank splits equal butt and tip for ease of transportation and couple that with this versions great styling for the price, it’s a must have for anyone wanting to enter this genre of light lure fishing.
