These rods are every bit as sharp as the swords they were named after. Graphite blanks, Fuji guides and graphite reel seats are a feature, with cork grips on the lighter rods and hard-wearing EVA on the bigger outfits. Whether you spin for trout, troll for barra, flick Squidgies for snapper, or surf fish for salmon, there's a rod here to suit, and the deep purple blanks look absolutely sensational.

This is Shimano's biggest surf / rock rod range to date and the rods are available in a choice of medium and high winch mounts for threadline and overhead use. There's also a timber sand spike to protect the blank. Additionally, each surf stick comes with its own rod tube!
