HI-POWER X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. 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. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.
SOFTUBE TOP
Shimano SOFTUBE TOP provides the sensitivity of an ultra-fine solid carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow/tubular construction. SOFTUBE TOP construction can be found on rods where sensitivity and finesse are both important requirements. The smooth, seamless action of SOFTUBE TOP offers the angler an unrivalled experience for bite detection and fish-playing performance.
TAFTEC INFINITY
TAFTEC INFINITY realises 3 times the winding strength and 5 times the winding amount of our conventional solid tips. It is a high-intensity solid tip that surpasses the strength and sensitivity of Taftec α.
