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 have retained the original features that have made the Zodias a favorite among tournament anglers.
Improved Carbon Monocoque Handle System
The new and improved Zodias now features a Carbon Monocoque handle system. This not only sheds even more weight from the rod, but also increases sensitivity by 30% compared to rods with traditionally constructed handles. The Carbon Monocoque handle system efficiently transmits vibrations through the rod and into the angler's hands, providing a more precise reading of lure action, composition of structure, and bites.
Comfortable CI4+ reel Seat
The Zodias retains the popular CI4+ reel seat, known for its comfort and sensitivity. This reel seat is widely regarded as one of the most comfortable and sensitive options available for a bass rod. Along with the Carbon Monocoque handle system, the CI4+ reel seat enhances vibration transmission and provides anglers with a more precise detection of lure action, structure composition, and bites.
Hi-Power X Rod Blank Technology
The Hi-Power X rod blank technology is another feature that makes a return. This technology involves an outer layer of carbon tape that is tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions, resulting in enhanced torsional rigidity and heightened responsiveness. The Hi-Power X blanks are praised for their ability to reduce blank twist and ovalization, allowing for more accurate casts. Additionally, they provide precise power transfer and control when fighting a fish.
Comfortable Grip and Quality Guides
The Shimano Zodias is fitted with a comfortable EVA mid-grip that ensures a secure and comfortable hold. The rod also features Fuji K Alconite Guides, which are known for their quality and reliability. These guides contribute to the overall performance of the rod, enabling smooth and accurate line movement during casting and retrieval.
The redesigned Shimano Zodias Spinning Rods continue to provide best-in-class performance for serious tournament anglers. With advancements in handle design, reel seat comfort, blank technology, and quality guides, the Zodias remains a top choice for those seeking high-performance fishing rods.
