Shimano has been renowned for their commitment to innovation and quality in fishing gear and their latest addition to the light tackle scene are the new Ascenza series line of rods.
These have been meticulously designed for light tackle anglers who seek precision, strength, and versatility. These rods represent the pinnacle of Shimano's craftsmanship, combining advanced technology with premium materials to deliver top-notch, light tackle performance without denting an anglers wallet.
The Ascenza series offers seven distinct rod models, each designed to suit various fishing scenarios and preferences. A key feature across the range is the use of a 30 + 40 Ton blank, a high-performance material that provides exceptional strength, sensitivity, and responsiveness. This advanced blank composition, combined with cutting-edge technology, allows Ascenza rods to excel in detecting subtle bites and delivering highly accurate casts.
The handle design of Ascenza rods is another standout feature. This range of rods boast Fuji DPS SKSS reel seats, otherwise known a skeleton grip providing a secure and comfortable grip during long fishing sessions but also aimed at anglers that fish with their index finger forward touching the blank for maximum sensitivity and bite detection. The combination of EVA handles and aluminum/carbon wind checks offers ergonomic comfort and exceptional control, even in challenging conditions.
The versatility of Ascenza rods makes them ideal for a wide range of fishing applications. Whether you're employing finesse techniques or targeting fish in heavy cover with light tackle, there’s a model to fit your needs. For instance, the Ascenza 691L-SP (with a 2-4 kg weight range) is ideal for tournament-style bream fishing, while the Ascenza 802L (with a 2-5 kg weight range) provides more power and extra length for greater versatility.
Portability is also a key feature of the Ascenza series, with some models featuring a convenient 2-piece design that makes transportation easy without sacrificing performance. This makes the Ascenza rods a great choice for anglers on the go, offering both convenience and high-quality performance.
