SHIMANO TROUT NATIVE SP

Shimano Trout Native Special Progressive is a new range of specialist spinning rods developed for European native trout fishing with lures. Every rod in this range has been developed with specific individual features, in order to cover all the native trout anglers needs. From tiny high-mountain creek fishing for colourful brown trout all the way downstream to trophy salmonids hunting in the strongest currents of the wide lowland rivers. Tip action and progressive blank curve are two key factors for a specialist trout fishing lure rod, so we decided to re-visit the Shimano SPECIAL PROGRESSIVE blanks of the successful Antares rod series and adapt them to the modern trout lure fishing techniques. The blanks are built with the light and sensitive Nano + HPC100 carbon and have moderate-fast and fast action tapers. The metallized forest green blanks are equipped with elegant gunsmoke componentry: anti tangle Fuji Alconite K and KR series combined with the ergonomic new Seaguide XVS reel seat, nestled in a traditional full cork handle with specific lengths for an optimal balance and casting agility. The range includes 9 different models with 5 different lengths and unique features. Light, responsive and strong Nano + HPC100, 2-pieces blanks. SPECIAL PROGRESSIVE blank curve. Fuji Alconite K-type and KR-type (long frame) guides. New Seaguide XVS reel seat. Full tepered cork handle. Hook Keeper.
