Shimano STC XR Stream Spinning – Precision and Power for Mobile Trout Angling. The Shimano STC XR Stream Spinning range is engineered for trout anglers targeting rivers and streams across Europe with artificial lures and spinners. Each model is precisely tuned for a specific approach—from ultralight techniques in tight mountain streams to casting larger lures in powerful river flows. Built with high-modulus carbon and enhanced with HPC, Nanosheet, and Diaflash technologies, these rods offer fast to moderate-fast actions and a specially designed progressive curve to absorb the erratic movements of hooked trout. With a transport length of 61 cm or less, they are ideal for the mobile angler. Each rod features Fuji K-Type Alconite guides, a natural cork handle for superior grip and feel, and a lightweight Fuji VSS reel seat for enhanced lure control. The included STC XR hard case ensures safe and compact transport. Whether you're navigating alpine streams or casting across wide rivers, the STC XR Stream Spinning series delivers premium performance and unmatched portability for modern trout fishing.
