The different ranges

The Shimano brand of fishing rods naturally offers a whole range of models. They can, of course, cover several techniques and target different species of fish.

You'll find rods for ultra-light fishing. Trout are the main fish targeted by these models. The names Cardiff and Trout One are sure to guide you in your choice.

Anglers can also turn to live bait fishing for salmonids. There's something to suit every taste, whether it's a plug-in, adjustable or telescopic rod.

For the more globetrotting among you, the brand has a concept called STC, for Shimano Travel Concept. You'll find multi-piece rods that take up very little space. The aim is to fish with your rod wherever you go.

You can continue your discovery of the range with spinning and casting rods for spinning fishing. With the best experts as your reference when it comes to testing, you can be sure of quality blanks ready to meet all your demands.

To make sure you don't miss out on anything at Shimano, you should also look out for marine predators. Here, too, techniques abound, and the brand has always been able to put its expertise at the service of the most passionate among you.

Jigging is a very popular technique. Japan, the United States and every other country in the world uses this technique. Whether deep or slow, you'll find an action that's a natural extension of your hand and arm.

Casting is also a very popular activity. Often impressive, with breathtaking rushes, you won't want to skimp on the quality and reliability of your set. A set from Shimano should get you through your toughest fights.

How to choose your Shimano rod?

There are no real differences in the choice of your rods, whether they come from one brand or another. You need to consider what you want to do with it and how you want to get there.

To do this, you'll need to adapt your choice according to the species you've chosen. You don't fish for tuna with the same equipment as for trout. But it's also important to have an idea of the technique used.

The quality of the carbon can be a first source of reflection. You'll need particularly tactile blanks to give you a feel for the slightest vibration when you're fishing vertically, for example. The result will be much more convincing and the catches much more numerous.

This aspect can also be enhanced by choosing a single-strand model. The fact that there is no break in the fibre ensures better transmission of information to your hand.

Length is another point to consider in your search. If you want to cast a long way, you'll have to opt for long models, whereas if you're fishing from a boat or in rivers that aren't very wide, you can limit the length.

Equipment is another thing to look out for. The different ranges behave differently depending on the quality of the reel seat or the rings. The glide and once again the feel will be different. A judicious assembly can literally enhance a blank and give it precision.

Power is also an important aspect. Ranges of use are generally well estimated by suppliers and give you reliable information for fishing throughout the season, with the right lure weights. This ensures that your investment will last a long time.

Don't forget to check our new releases tab regularly. It's packed with models that regularly benefit from the latest advances from different manufacturers. This is your chance to get your hands on the latest carbon, which will make it a little easier for you to connect with your pet.
