The Shimano Compre Muskie Casting Rods are specially engineered to assist dedicated musky anglers in catching some of the biggest fish found in freshwater environments. It is built on well-balanced, fast action blanks which can handle heavy lures that are cast numerous times. The rods provide extra-long AAA-grade cork handles to help in casting and provide more leverage in a fight.
Casting with heavy braided lines is not an issue as the Compre Muskie comes with premium SeaGuide XBG Zirconia guides; these are highly durable and help eliminate tangles that can lead to tackle failures. Additionally, the rods incorporate a Fuji reel seat and a compression cork butt-cap to reduce strain when fighting with the rod-butt against your mid-section during long battles. Models over 8 feet are telescopic to increase ease of transport and storage.
Although primarily designed for musky fishing, the rugged construction and powerful backbone of the Compre Muskie make this rod suitable for various other forms of angling. It is not uncommon to see these rods on saltwater vessels during deep-water bottom fishing trips.
