RODS - FRESHWATER
EXCLUSIVE CONSTRUCTION OVERCOMES BLANK TWIST AND ENHANCES ROD PERFORMANCE
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibers, an inner layer, and an outer layer both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank di- agonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This, in turn, facilitates instant power transmis- sion for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its ex- clusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral X construc- tion enhances anglers’ “catching power.”
