Shimano Zodias Spinning Rod – ZDS69MA

The Shimano Zodias spinning Rods have been redesigned for 2020 to incorporate state-of-the-art technologies from Shimano's elite series of rods. These rods are a favorite among tournament anglers and now feature a Carbon Monocoque handle system. This new design sheds even more weight and offers 30% more sensitivity compared to rods with traditionally constructed handles. The CI4+ reel seat, known for its comfort and sensitivity, has made a highly anticipated comeback in the Zodias series. These features work together to transmit vibrations efficiently through the rod and into the angler's hands, providing a more precise reading of lure action, structure composition, and bites. The Hi-Power X rod blank technology is also returning, which involves tightly winding an outer layer of carbon tape diagonally in opposite directions. This enhances torsional rigidity and responsiveness, leading to more accurate casts by reducing blank twist and ovalization. It also provides precise power transfer and control when fighting a fish. The Shimano Zodias is fitted with a comfortable EVA mid-grip and Fuji K Alconite Guides. With its best-in-class performance, it continues to be a top choice for serious tournament anglers.
