Product Specification Charts

Shimano ® manufactures thousands of rods, in so many configurations, it’s hard to keep track of them all. We make so many configurations because we know that for every angler that wants a 6’ 6” bass rod with lightning quick tip, there’s another that prefers a 7’ rod for the same con - ditions. So in order to make sure that you get exactly what you want, we list all of our rods in this catalog. The specification charts are a wealth of information—even the model numbers themselves tell you how a rod is set up. See below.

Number of Guides

Some anglers prefer more guides, others save money by requiring fewer.

If you want to pack your rod in your suitcase or back seat, look for a two-piece model.
