The Shimano Expride B Glass Casting Rod models build upon a strong freshwater legacy with rods wrapped with X-Power technology and enhance performance with a sturdy and lightweight Carbon Monocoque handle. The hollow handle increases your chances of catching more fish by transmitting greater vibration from the glass rod blank directly to your hand - you'll have up to 30% greater sensitivity. That much more feeling is a big deal on a fiberglass rod.As the Expride B series incorporates Shimano Hi-Power X blank technology, there is added power to the glass rods. The glass casting rods' moderate action favors throwing large swimbaits while enhancing your casts' distance and accuracy. You can power up your rod locker today with an advanced Shimano Expride B Glass Casting Rod!CI4+ Reel SeatCI4 is a Shimano-original material reinforced with carbon fiber. It is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material. This highly technical material is 2.5 times more rigid than CI4 and is used in Shimano reel seats to increase sensitivity and reduce weight. Use of CI4+ for the reel seat also delivers remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation which results in better rod efficiency.Hi-Power XIn Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of 'X' shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength, and added twist resistance. Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.Carbon Monocoque HandleCarbon Monocoque grip is a carbon-molded grip that is lightweight with high sensitivity, transferring even the smallest vibration to an angler's hand. The Carbon Monocoque grip increases sensitivity by 30% compared to traditional rod handles and utilizes a hollow structure that eliminates unnecessary parts of the rear grip to improve weight reduction and vibration transmission.Cork handle materialsFuji SiC guidesPlease note: This item is not available for order outside of the United States.
