Shimano Expride B Series Bass Casting Rod

Command tournament-winning performance withthe next generation of Shimano Expridecasting and spinning rods. Built upon astrong legacy with a backbone fortified byShimano Hi-Power X technology, Shimanoengineers expanded the Expride lineup withadditional models and enhanced performance byadding a Carbon Monocoque handle. Thisinnovative and lightweight hollow carbonhandle increases vibration transfer throughthe rod and into an angler's hand for up to30% more sensitivity for superior bitetransmission. Extremely lightweight withexcellent balance, the new Expride rodsfeature CI4+ reel seats and don Fuji SiCguides for premium angling performance.Shimano's Hi-Power X blank technology enablesrod engineers to fine-tune rod actions withmodels specifically designed for versatility,power fishing, or throwing large swimbaitswhile also providing anglers with enhancedcasting distance and accuracy. The nextchapter of Expride's legendary andtournament-winning lineage is here.

Features:

• Carbon Monocoque Grip: Carbon Monocoquegrip is a carbon-molded grip that islightweight with high sensitivity,transferring even the smallest vibration toan angler's hand. The Carbon Monocoque Gripincreases sensitivity by 30% compared totraditional rod handles and utilizes a hollowstructure that eliminates unnecessary partsof the rear grip to improve weight reductionand vibration transmission.
• Hi-Power X: Hi-Power X construction usesdiagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form anarray of "X" shapes on the rod blank'soutermost layer. The width of the tape, itswinding angle and the part of the rod beingwrapped are fine-tuned according to thetarget fish species. This manufacturingprocess allows Shimano to adjust these wrapsduring construction for precise actions,enhanced overall strength and added twistresistance. In short, Hi-Power X constructiondelivers sharp and crisp rod control for theangler.
