In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer

is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an

array of “X” shapes. The width of the tape, its winding

angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-

tuned according to the target fish species. This tuning

flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength

and added twist resistance.

In short, Hi-Power X construction allows sharp and crisp

rod control by the angler.
