Shimano SkixX Muskie Rod – SKC86XH

The Shimano SkixX Muskie Rods are known for their advanced construction processes, making them the top choice for musky anglers. These rods are built with Shimano's Spiral-X and Hi-Power X technology, which ensures a perfect combination of lightweight, strength, and control.

The Spiral-X construction involves multiple layers of carbon tape tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions. This design increases the torsional rigidity of the rod without adding extra weight. As a result, the SkixX rod offers instant power transmission when casting heavy musky lures and enhances control when battling with large fish. Compared to standard blank construction, Spiral-X blanks are 250% more structurally rigid and 180% less prone to twisting, providing a significant advantage when targeting these elusive giants.

The two-piece models of the SkixX rod are designed for easy transport and storage. These models feature a rigid butt-joint construction, where the rod section fits directly into the handle section at the top of the foregrip. This design ensures uninterrupted rod action and strength that rivals that of a single piece rod.

All SkixX models come equipped with premium-grade cork handles and Fuji Alconite guides, adding to the overall quality and performance of these advanced muskie rods.
