Shimano ZDC72MLBFSA Zodias BFS Casting Rod

The Shimano Zodias Casting Rods have been redesigned for 2020, incorporating advanced technologies from Shimano's top-tier rod series. These rods continue to include the features that have made the Zodias a favorite among tournament anglers.

One of the upgrades is the Carbon Monocoque handle system, which reduces weight and increases sensitivity by 30% compared to rods with traditional handles. The CI4+ reel seat, known for its comfort and sensitivity, is also back. These two features work together to transmit vibrations more efficiently from the rod to the angler's hands, allowing for a better understanding of lure action, structure composition, and bites.

The Hi-Power X rod blank technology also returns, featuring an outer layer of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. This enhances torsional rigidity and responsiveness, resulting in more accurate casts by reducing blank twist and ovalization. It also provides precise power transfer and control when fighting a fish.

The new Shimano Zodias is equipped with a comfortable EVA mid-grip and Fuji K Alconite Guides. With these enhancements, the Zodias continues to deliver top-notch performance for serious tournament anglers.
