Shimano Aero Technium Competition is the absolute pinnacle of surf casting engineering, a rod designed without compromise to maximize long-distance casting performance and fishing effectiveness. This series, which solidifies the Aero Technium name's reputation, is the ideal choice for anglers who want to push their casting potential to the limit. When paired with the Aero Technium MGS reel, it creates an unparalleled combination of quality and performance.

The secret to the Aero Technium Competition's exceptional power lies in the synergy of three advanced technologies: Spiral X Core, Nanopitch, and Hi-Power X. This combination reduces the rod's overall weight, allowing for greater rod speed, while significantly increasing torsional rigidity. The result is direct power transfer and pinpoint accuracy. The elimination of blank twist under pressure ensures more efficient power application and greater casting distance.

Versatility is another key strength, thanks to the option of choosing from different tip options:

Hybrid Tip: a hollow section with a seamlessly spliced solid tip section for enhanced bite detection.
Long Hybrid Tip: a longer solid tip section that further increases bite detection.
Sensitive Long Hybrid Tip: the ultimate choice for detecting the most subtle bites, especially from small fish using thin main lines.

You can also customize the guide setup, choosing between Fuji Titanium SIC RV-type guides (ideal for ultra-thin lines) with a Fuji Titanium NS7 reel seat, or the more traditional Fuji Titanium SIC K-type guides with a Fuji DNPS reel seat.

Key Features:

Spiral X Core, Nanopitch, and Hi-Power X technologies for maximum casting performance.
