Designed so that the whole body of the rod bends flexibly, the rod jerks easily just by moving the wrist lightly. In addition, it is easy to grasp the timing of jerk and cast, establishing an intuitive “automatic” performance. Shimano's original basic structure Spiral-X is used for the blanks to achieve weight reduction while maintaining sufficient strength. In addition, by increasing the rigidity of twisting and crushing, it suppresses the dullness that tends to occur in supple rods. Carbon reinforced material CI4+ is used for the reel seat, contributing to further weight reduction and higher sensitivity.

Features & Technology:
- SPIRAL X - Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.
- SOFTUBE TOP - Shimano SOFTUBE TOP provides the sensitivity of an ultra fine solid carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow/tubular construction. SOFTUBE TOP construction can be found on rods where sensitivity and finesse are both important requirements. The smooth, seamless action of SOFTUBE TOP offers the angler an unrivalled experience for bite detection and fish-playing performance.
- CI4+ REINFORCED - CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
