A high performance rod with Shimano’s prestige and technology.

EXPRIDE [EXPRIDE]

The high performance rod, which bets the prestige of the rod manufacturer, has been reborn with a new design for all items. Blanks with increased proportion of highly elastic carbon are reinforced with high power X. Succeeded in weight reduction and high balance of up to 10% or more while maintaining rigidity. Furthermore, sharpness, sensitivity, and response have been dramatically improved while maintaining power. Reel seats made of CI4 + material contribute to weight reduction and aesthetics. The matte rubber coating further polishes the texture. A special design is adopted for each item according to the technique. Items less than 7ft are delicate rod actions that capture tough fields, and items over 7ft are power-oriented designs assuming big lakes and big bass in the United States.

A long rod with North American reimport specifications that Manabu Okuda fell in love with

OVER 8 series

It is decided to sell the OVER 8 series lineup for the North American market in Japan as well! It has already achieved results in tournament scenes in North America, and is also used by support players. Taking advantage of the long rod, the long cast dramatically improves the possibility of sending lures to an undeveloped paradise that could not be attacked from Okappari. The improvement of long-distance casting performance expands the range of exploration and leads to a new style.

  • * Rods over 8 feet are not approved for use in domestic tournaments.
  • * When using a long rod, pay more attention to the trajectory of the tip than ever before.

Features

Commitment to guides

Uses a semi-micro guide that is lightweight, has an excellent cast feel, and has few troubles (only BFS has a micro guide specification). The performance of the blanks is brought out by arranging each item exclusively according to the application and technique.

Improved rod balance

NEW EXPRIDE reconsiders the balance of the rod by imagining the actual usage situation. We aimed for even higher quality operability than the previous model. Sharpness, sensitivity and response are improved.

All items newly designed

All items of NEW EXPRIDE are newly designed. Increased the ratio of highly elastic carbon and strengthened the whole body with high power X. We have achieved a weight reduction of 10% (compared to our company) while maintaining the strength of the blanks.

High-density UD glass made of new material

A new low-resin glass material is used for the glass composite series specializing in hard baits. It contributes to weight reduction while maintaining the stickiness unique to glass, and reduces unnecessary dullness caused by its weight. You can enjoy a more comfortable plucking game.

Newly designed reel seat

The reel seat adopts a compact design that emphasizes lightness using lightweight and high-strength carbon reinforced material CI 4+ . Good grip even when gripped lightly. The matte rubber coating gives it a luxurious appearance.
