MATCH RODS |
 ANTARES
AX MATCH ROD
Antares AX Multi-Match rods each have their
own extension that attaches to the butt to add an extra foot of length -
without changing the action. The concept effectively gives you two rods in
one and, like the Antares AX Feeder rods, they are lighter and slimmer than
ever before. |
 SPEEDMASTER
MATCH ROD
This range of Biofibre-powered rods benefit
from Shimano Dynamic Response construction. Superb casting performance is
the upshot, with the generous amount of Fuji guides mounted to ensure
minimal line friction. This aids accuracy, distance and that all-important
extra - confidence. |
 NEXAVE
AX MATCH ROD
Built using XT30 and XT60 carbon, the slim
blank of the Nexave AX Match offers excellent value for money, combined with
a classic refined action. Available in three lengths these rods are
highly recommended. |
 CATANA
BX MATCH ROD
These XT40 carbon powered carp match rods are
light and slim with a fast action that improves casting performance. But
there’s plenty of power in reserve and the reel seats will accommodate most
reel types and still offer an ergonomic grip. Catch on to a Catana before
your rivals do! |
 HYPERLOOP
AX MATCH ROD
Combining quality with an affordable price,
the Hyperloop AX Match has a fast action XT30 blank that provides a great
fish-playing action, and casting performance. This makes the Hyperloop
perfect for anglers new to the sport, and cost-conscious anglers. |
 ALIVIO
BX MATCH ROD
Shimano’s entry level match rod range, the Shimano Alivio BX Match Rods are
available in 3 lengths that will cover most general float fishing
situations. Competitively priced, the Alivio suits both the novice and the
cost-conscious angler. |

FLOAT RODS |
 BEASTMASTER
AX FLOAT & CARP FLOAT RODS
The
New Beastmaster AX Carp & AX Float Rods have been upgraded with the incorporation
of Biofibre and the very high quality XT60 Carbon material means these are
very capable float rods. The Beastmaster AX Float rods are now
lighter, faster & developed in a way that produces no seam along the blank. |
 CATANA
BX FLOAT ROD
Larger floats up to 30 grams can be cast effortlessly by this second
generation rod. The Shimano Hardlite guides have diameter ceramics and give
your line an excellent release, in cold winter conditions. The handle is
finished in Portuguese cork that brings a great finishing touch to this
range. |

FEATURES |
 SHIMANO
DYNAMIC RESPONSE
The unique SDR construction process eliminates any spine forming during
manufacture, meaning the blank action is always uniform regardless of
which way the rod is bent. Shimano Dynamic Response keeps you in
touch with each and every turn a fish makes, increasing sensitivity and
responsive reaction speed. It also improves the blank’s recovery speed
for a crisper action; ideal when lightning bites demand instant
response.
 DYNA-BALANCE
A built-in balancing system which reduces rod vibration, improves
balance and creates a more responsive & reactive rod.
T-CURVE CARBON
 The
Shimano Tcurve process combines special graphite cloth with a
revolutionary resin formula and manufacturing technique. The three-ply
weave undergoes a clinical curing process to produce a unique ‘Dynamic’
blank with massive pressure thresholds. Unlike others, Tcurve
resin molecules retain elasticity after the manufacturing process. The
outcome is 20-40% more compression resistance than regular carbon.
REEL SEATS
 Shimano reel seats are specifically designed for many of our fl oat and
feeder rods. Ergonomically profiled for maximum handling comfort, they
retain functionality and balance. Incredibly light and robust,
they hold a reel securely in the perfect position. Shimano’s
unique ergonomic reel seat graces several models, taking reel seat
technology to new levels of excellence with a stylish, tactile grip
offering all season comfort.
 BIOFIBRE
Adding Biofibre re-enforces the carbon fibres in all directions. This
gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.
 FINE
CRYSTAL CARBON
Fine Crystal Carbon has a more compact structure than
other carbons resulting in increased resilience, added punch and more
dependable overall performance. |
