The immensely popular Zodias is part of the exclusive SHIMANO JDM series and features a new design. The current series is renowned for its versatility and power, and now an additional feature has been added: sensitivity. The Carbon Monocoque grip (known from Poison Adrena) is a significant improvement, making the new generation of rods lighter and more sensitive! The fast and extra fast Zodias rods were originally developed and designed in Japan but are nearly perfect for fishing European species like pike, perch, and zander. The sleekly finished Zodias is equipped with an exclusive Monocoque grip. This enhances sensitivity and responsiveness, allowing every vibration and movement to be directly transmitted to your hand. When you hook a fish, you can feel the powerful qualities of the blank that bends very evenly.The Zodias benefits from SHIMANO's Hi-Power X blank technology for sensitivity and technical capability. This results in casting accuracy and distance, as well as reduced blank twist for better control while fishing. Sensitivity is greatly enhanced by the addition of the Carbon Monocoque grip and the specially designed Ci4+ reel seat. These features provide remarkable feedback during fishing. Top-quality Fuji guides further contribute to the premium quality of this high-end series. There are 7 Spinning and 6 Casting models for various techniques and applications. From the lightest Ultra Light models, which are perfect for subtle fishing, to the Heavy models designed for heavy soft baits, hard baits, and spinners. Additionally, there are 6 Super Sensitive models for ultra finesse fishing. The ULS2 model and the Super Sensitive models feature a TAFTEC ALPHA tip for ultimate sensitivity in finesse fishing.
