2024 Shimano ColtSniper Limited Big Game Lure Fishing Rod

Rockshore Record Breaker, Built with Rugged Specifications

A big game rod dedicated to anglers who challenge the harsh conditions of rock shores with unwavering determination and thirst for their dreams. This rod is engineered to bring record-breaking fish to the bite, with a focus on key performance areas: "operability" to ensure precise control, "uncompromising strength" for resilience, "maximum power" for fighting large fish, and "trouble-free performance" against unbalanced line systems. Every aspect of this big game rod’s performance has been meticulously designed to withstand the toughest challenges.

In pursuit of a balance between power and sensitivity, this rod uses a [joint design] and [step-length design], with a soft-tip design for the #1 section. The soft tip makes it easier to detect subtle changes and improves responsiveness by shortening the length for better maneuverability. The #2 section smoothly transitions the load between the #1 and #3 sections, which have a gap in their rigidity. The #3 section, with its thick diameter and high rigidity, strengthens the core, supporting powerful fights against monster-sized fish.

This is not just a rod designed for the convenience of long-distance island expeditions, but one that achieves a high level of strength and balance. Additionally, the rod is designed to accommodate a MAX reel size of SW18000 and PE line of 8–10, which has led to the use of a newly sized [X-guide Touch-Free Titanium] to handle these specifications. This guide quickly stabilizes the line during release, and by increasing the diameter of the guide rings on the top section, line troubles are minimized, ensuring smoother line release.

With these innovations, the rod guarantees exceptional casting accuracy and necessary distance, supporting anglers with confidence in the often challenging rockshore environments where they are frequently at a disadvantage.

<Features:>

• Original reel seat made with Shimano's proprietary lightweight material CI4+, reinforced with carbon fibers.
• V-Hold Front Grip: In interactions with large fish, the front grip allows for a firm hold, enabling the angler to lift the fish with ease.
• Long-type nut adopted to prevent wobbling or misalignment when mounting large SW reels.
• Screw Lock Joint: A mechanism that increases the fixation strength of the joint by twisting it like a screw.
• X Guide: Touch-Free Titanium: A specially designed guide that pursues trouble-free performance.
• Guide Cover Included: A dedicated guide cover is included to prevent damage caused by accidental knocks or impacts during movement, protecting the large guides designed for blank-touchless performance.
